The recognition comprises awards in six categories, the Research Paper Award, Doctoral Dissertation Award, International Student Research Award, Invention Award, Young Research Award (Fujino \/ Nakamura Award), and Writing Award. ELSI\u2019s Tony Z. Jia (Specially Appointed Assistant Professor) received the \u2018Fujino-Nakamura Young Researcher Award\u2019 for his work on &#8220;Polyester microdroplets as primitive membraneless protocell models&#8221; at the award ceremony on April 11th.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The award is named after Seiichi Tejima who devoted his career to the advancement of engineering education in Japan. He also served for over 25 years as the principal of the two preceding schools of Tokyo Institute of Technology. After his retirement in 1917, a foundation was setup to carry the legacy, which later established the \u2018Seiichi Tejima Research Awards\u2019 to recognise the excellent research and publication contributions by the university members.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn essential part of my research is the quest for and creation of new knowledge and understanding. The quality of the research conducted is a key to achieving this effectively. I&#8217;m honoured to have my work recognised by the university,\u201d says Jia.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5393,"template":"","news_events_cat":[7],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elsi.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_events\/5392"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elsi.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elsi.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news_events"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elsi.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5393"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elsi.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5392"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"news_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elsi.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_events_cat?post=5392"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
