I traveled to the Laboratoire AstroPaticule & Cosmologie in Paris. Here, I collaborated with Guillaume Patanchon (left photo), who is playing an important role in the LiteBIRD project. I also visited the University of Paris-Saclay, where Samantha (Assistant prof. in our lab.) is visiting. Here she is evaluating the performance of a superconducting detector using a proton accelerator (right photo).
I was able to concentrate on my research in the wonderful Parisian environment. I hope to publish a paper on the results as soon as possible!!
(English pages prior to this post do not exist, sorry about that.)
The Ishino Lab website has been running since 2010 and was completely renewed in May 2024!
This was a somewhat legacy website that has been operated since the dawn of the internet by staff and lab members using a CMS was Drupal…
As you can see on the homepage, it has been reborn very modern! We are using WordPress for the CMS.
I, 3rd grade Ph.D. student Yusuke, was in charge of the design and build, and I was able to deploy from scratch in about three weeks! Migrating past blogs was particularly difficult, and I managed to avoid having to manually transfer over 150 articles by writing code to read HTML and creating my own program to automatically post them using python-wordpress-xmlrpc.
I would like to thank the Physics Department of Okaya University and Mr. Nagao, a technical specialist staff member, for their great help in migrating from Drupal.
As for the future management of the website, we plan to promote it as a laboratory as a whole. In particular, we will also disseminate information about “Research Life at the Ishino Lab”, which may be of interest to undergraduate students who are thinking about being assigned to a research lab.
Of course, we will also try to write articles about our main field of work, ASTROPHYSICS, with explanations that are easy to understand even for the general public, so please look forward to them!
