When I entered KMD, I had an only vague idea of what I would like to do. I didn’t know how to achieve, and how to appeal my idea to others. I joined the NetworkMedia project, experienced various events, and had the opportunity to interact with people from various fields. The best thing at KMD is that I have more career options to forge my own path in life, and I learned how to rethink ideas fundamentally, reconstruct to exciting ones, and realize them myself.
Currently, I work as an associate professor at the Disaster Prevention Research Institute, Kyoto University, to research and develop disaster mitigation systems and analysis technologies. KMD is a place to open up our possibilities and give us the power to realize our dream. This experience is still very helpful. I hope that the experience of KMD could be connected to your future success for those who wish to enroll in KMD.
