The Institute for Materials Research is a world-famous research organization, especially for metallurgy and semiconductors. The progresses accomplished in metallic glasses and alloys development noticeably contributed to the reputation of this institute. Therefore, IMR is a prime place for students to carry out master and doctorate research projects. Moreover, the large efforts in international exchanges and common research programs with other institutions highlight the open mind of the institute and the willingness to contribute to global science knowledge. Devices and literature available in IMR are really impressive, thus I am really excited to dispose of all I need to carry through my research project. My integration in the laboratory was easy, thanks to the very kind help of the members of Deformation Processing Laboratory. Therefore, it is for me a really nice opportunity to work with talented researchers in metallurgy and to discover Japanese research.
Campus Life
Institute for Materials Research is a pioneer Institute in material science. With the development of new materials for various applications in semiconductors and metallurgy this institute made great contributions in materials science field. Lots of efforts are going on in this Institute on international exchanges and common research program with all the leading universities in the world which illustrate its open mind attitude and its enthusiasm to contribute to global science knowledge. Facilities and the literature available in the IMR are remarkable. I completed my doctorate course this year from one of research centers in IMR that is Advanced Research Center of Metallic Glasses. Facilities available in this center are incomparable. The environment in the lab is very friendly and the members are very kind and helping, this made my stay in his laboratory comfortable and fruitful. After spending three good years here at IMR I can say it is a very good, rather a best place for Master and Doctorate research projects and it is welcoming for foreign students.
我是来中国的留学生，毕业于中国东北大学。在中国的时候就听说过在材料领域非常著名的日本的东北大学的金属材料研究所。2007年4月，我有幸来到东北大学金属材料研究所，开始我的博士课程的学习。今年3月份我就要博士毕业了，非常感谢牧野彰宏教授三年来对我的悉心指导，以及各位老师和同学的帮助。
回首三年的留学生活，虽然有过失败，但更多的是成长和收获，还有很多美好的回忆。
东北大学金属材料研究所涉及的研究方向非常广泛，在这里任职的教授们都是各个方向的专家权威，而且这里能够给我们提供非常先进的研究设备和环境，在这里我们能够充分的发挥自己的想象，实践自己的想法。这对我们学生来说是非常难能可贵的事情。在这里还可以接触到来自世界各国材料领域顶尖级别的研究者，并且能够有机会跟他们的交流，探讨，了解最新的科研方向，开阔了我们的视野，受益匪浅。
东北大学金属材料研究所虽然是以一流的研究成果和严谨的科研作风而闻名，但在这里的生活并不单调，来自世界各地的留学生，研究者们经常一起举行各种活动。每年春天赏樱花，夏天啤酒节，秋天芋煮会，冬天忘年会的时候还可以去仙台附近温泉旅行。
三年中虽然没有家人在身边相伴，但是这里的老师和同学们给了我更多的无国界的关心和温暖，在我即将毕业之际，衷心的向金研的各位表达我的感激之情。
大家好！
我是来自于中国河北的留学生张泽强，目前在东北大学金属材料研究所攻读博士学位，下面简单的跟大家分享一下在日留学感想：
在日本令我感触深刻的是整洁的人居环境和良好的国民素质。在日本的街道上，很少见到垃圾之类的东西。日本人的礼貌与体贴也让人折服。比如，在便利商店消费，店员总是会很有礼貌地将找给顾客的钱当着顾客面前一张一张数清楚后再双手奉上。日本人对中国和中国人都是非常友好的。日本各地的日中友好协会经常组织各种活动，通过这些活动可以和普通日本人进行交流。不但学习了知识，增长了见识，而且更能感受到日本的文化气息，体会到他们的敬业和认真的精神，同时也能受到了很多日本友人的关照。作为世界著名大学之一的东北大学，在科研方面，她向来有着"尊重研究"的光荣传统，各部门都十分重视科学研究，硕果累累，留下了光辉的业绩，特别是金属材料研究所。在来日本的这段时间里，无论是在生活方面，课题研究方面还是我的人生观上都给了我新的见解和领悟。
青春是学习的季节，青春是奋斗的岁月，让年轻的梦没有终点！
