22(Wed) July, 9:30-12:40（計2コマ）
Prof. Akira CHIKAMATSU（近松彰）
Chemistry, Science（理学部化学科）
Topic: Crystal structure in solids
Abstract: In solids, the arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules forms a crystal structure. This refers to the ordered and repeating pattern in which these particles are arranged in a solid. The structure is defined by the unit cell, which is the smallest repeating unit that retains the symmetry and properties of the entire crystal. Solids exhibit a variety of properties depending on the combination of elements and differences in crystal structure. In this lecture, we will learn about various crystal structures in solids while assembling crystal structure models.

Prof. Takayuki ITOH（伊藤貴之）
Transdisciplinary Engineering（共創工学部）
Topic: Computer Graphics and Information Visualization
Abstract: The lecturer focuses on computer-based visual technologies. The former part of this class introduces fundamental computer graphics techniques that are used in various industries including engineering design and entertainment.
The latter part introduces information visualization that makes visual representations of daily information. Also, applications of information visualization to the analysis of music and arts are introduced.

23(Thu) July, 13:40-15:10（1コマ）
Prof. Shohei NISHIZAKA（西坂祥平）
Japanese Language and Literature, Humanities and Sciences（文教育学部言語文化学科）
Topic: Kyogen（狂言）
Abstract: Kyogen is a traditional form of Japanese comic theatre that has been performed for centuries alongside Noh drama. Through its distinctive language, stylized movements, and humorous portrayal of everyday life, Kyogen offers insight into Japanese aesthetics, social values, and perspectives on human relationships. In this session, students will first gain an overview of Kyogen and observe a live demonstration by three professional Kyogen performers—MIYAKE Tokuro, IZUMI Junko, and IZUMI Motoya. They will then participate in introductory training exercises to experience its basic techniques. Through this direct cultural experience, students will reflect on the characteristics of Japanese culture and consider similarities and differences in relation to their own cultural backgrounds.

Prof. Kazuyoshi CHIBA（千葉和義）
Biology, Science（理学部生物学科）
Topic: Reproductive Biology and Technology
Abstract: In this class, I will discuss the biological reasons why sexual conflict occurs between females and males. I will then outline medical procedures used in assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection, and discuss how these medical treatments affect humankind.

Prof. Shohei NISHIZAKA（西坂祥平）
Japanese Language and Literature, Humanities and Sciences（文教育学部言語文化学科）
Topic: Kodo（香道）
Abstract: Kodo, the traditional Japanese art of incense appreciation, is considered one of the three major classical arts of refinement in Japan, alongside the tea ceremony and flower arrangement. Compared to these more widely practiced arts, opportunities to experience Kodo firsthand are relatively rare. Through engagement with this traditional cultural practice, students will explore Japanese aesthetics and sensibilities while also reflecting on their own cultural backgrounds from a broader, comparative perspective. In this session, led by SHIMADA Hanako, students will learn about the history of Kodo, experience “listening” to incense, and create their own scented sachets. Through these activities, they will gain a deeper understanding of the cultural and spiritual dimensions of Japanese incense traditions.

Prof. Sin Yi TSANG
Mathematics, Science（理学部数学科）
Topic: Mathematical Magic Tricks
Abstract: In this lecture, we will explore a series of magic tricks that are based on mathematical concepts such as number representation, modular arithmetic, and combinatorics. We will give a detailed explanation of the ideas involved in each trick. You will also have the opportunity to practice performing these tricks during class.

31(Fri) July, 9:30-12:40 (計2コマ）
Prof. Tomohiro FUJITA（藤田智弘）
Physics, Science（理学部物理科）
Topic: Cosmology: Its History and Cutting-Edge Research
Abstract: Astronomy is one of the oldest fields of science. Originally developed for astrology and navigation, it has evolved alongside modern science, greatly enhancing our understanding of the universe that we live in. Today, cosmology presents astonishing insights into the origins of the universe and its fundamental components. In the first part of this lecture, I will provide an introductory review of the history of astronomy and key discoveries in modern cosmology. The second half will focus on recent research exploring the possibility that the universe may have a preferred handedness, suggesting a violation of left-right symmetry (parity symmetry).
