The Provost Lecture Series 21

This training course will show you how to make best use of the high-performance computing resources at OIST. In the first session we show you how computing clusters are organized and introduce the fundamental concepts of parallel computing.

In collaboration with leading venture capital firms, OIST Innovation offers startups and entrepreneurial researchers or students the opportunity to connect directly with venture capitalists for one-on-one mentoring and discussion. Each round begins with an open seminar-style introduction, where participants can learn about the VC firm's investment focus and characteristics. This is followed by private, closed-door mentoring sessions between startups/researchers/students and the VC representatives. The featured VC for this round is D4V (Design for Ventures)

The command line is the primary way to use the high performance computing resources at OIST. Here we quickly learn the basics we need to become comfortable and productive.

QG Seminar Speaker: Max Velasquez Cotini Hutt (Imperial College London) Title: Non-invertible Symmetries of 2d Non-Linear Sigma Models

A beginner's introduction to using the clusters and other computing resources at OIST. This is the second, hands-on session.

Stakeholders in Smart Agriculture related companies or supporting organizations will come together at OIST to discuss how we can bridge research and community. The event includes talks about the agricultural landscape of Okinawa Challenges and Prospects and the Future of Okinawa followed by startup pitches and networking.

QG Seminar Speaker: Veronica Collazuol (IFT Madrid) Title: The Boundary of Symmetric Moduli Spaces and the Distance Conjecture

Title: "Introduction to Isogeny-based Cryptography" Abstract: Isogeny-based cryptography is a fast-moving field, and recent developments have introduced several new techniques, making the barrier of entry particularly high for young researchers wishing to work in the field. To aid new researchers in the field is the aim of this "summer" school, which introduces all of the many essential tools that are used today. Among the topics to be covered are the correspondences between ideals and isogenies that give rise to both the Deuring correspondence, which is an essential part of protocols such as SQIsign, and the class group action on CM curves and oriented supersingular curves, which gives other cryptographic primitives such as CSIDH and SCALLOP. Further, higher dimensional abelian varieties and isogenies between these have recently become an integral part of isogeny-based cryptography, providing huge improvements to many existing protocols, as well as creating new protocols.

The Graduation Ceremony to award degrees to those who graduated in the period May 2025 to January 2026. The ceremony will take place at the OIST Auditorium on Friday, February 27, 2026.
