Message from JSPS OB -Summer Program
Name: Mr. Pierre FAVIER
Affiliation: Ph.D. Student, Université Paris-Sud
Duration in Japan: June - August 2015
Host institution in Japan: High Energy Accelerator Research
Organization
Research subject: Physics
C’est grâce à une collaboration de longue date entre mon laboratoire (LAL/Orsay) et le
laboratoire du professeur Terunuma (KEK/Tsukuba) que l’occasion m’a été donnée de
participer au Summer Program 2015 de la JSPS.
Dans le cadre de mes travaux de thèse, portants sur l’étude et la conception d'une cavité
Fabry-Perot de haute finesse, la JSPS et KEK m’ont offert le cadre idéal afin de développer
ma recherche. Mon projet, dans ce cadre, était de développer une technique de
compensation thermique des déformations des miroirs de la cavité dans le but de gagner en
puissance. C’est ainsi avec le soutien de mon laboratoire d’accueil, du professeur Terunuma
et de toute l’équipe sur place que j’ai pu parvenir à un résultat qui dépassait finalement nos
attentes. Et cela dans d’excellentes conditions de travail: matériel et techniques de pointes,
encadrement rigoureux et efficace, cadre de travail idéal et échanges riches et motivants.
Si cette expérience de recherche est déjà exceptionnelle, elle n’est en soit qu’une partie de
l’extraordinaire aventure qu’est le Summer Program de la JSPS!
D’une part, car les occasions sont très rares de pouvoir partir plus de deux mois dans d’aussi
bonnes conditions: bourse, prise en charge sans faille (avant même le départ et jusqu’au
retour), semaine d’ « éveil » à la culture et à la langue japonaise, etc.
D’autre part, car elle m’a permis de découvrir le Japon. J’ai ainsi pu savourer une culture
fascinante et inédite, des temples et Buddhas au Game Center en passant par le Macha, le
Tonkatsu et autres délicieuses découvertes dont recèle la cuisine nippone; explorer des
paysages merveilleux et d’une diversité inouïe, de l’éclectisme de Tôkyô à la sérénité des
berges de la Kamo à Kyôto, en passant par l’ascension du Mont Tsukuba; d’aller à la rencontre
d’une population dont la délicatesse n’est pas un mythe, mais bien un art de vivre.
Enfin, ce séjour au Japon s’est déroulé sous les auspices de l’amitié, que j’ai pu tisser dès
l’aéroport avec mes compagnons de voyage, mais aussi tout au long de cette magnifique
aventure dont je reviens plein de souvenirs inoubliables.
En conclusion: Foncez!Summer Program 11 Message from JSPS OG -Summer Program Name: Ms. Estelle DEGOUYS Affiliation: Ph.D. Student, Université Paris Ⅷ Duration in Japan: June - August 2015 Host institution in Japan: Ritsumeikan University Research subject: Urban Studies Ce séjour au Japon fut pour moi le quatrième, dix ans exactement après le premier. C’était avec un immense plaisir et beaucoup d’émotion que j’ai retrouvé ce pays qui m’avait tant manqué. Le Summer Program de la JSPS m’a ainsi permis d’associer mon attachement au Japon avec mes recherches dans le cadre de mes travaux de thèse. Ayant par le passé travaillé sur le sans-abrisme dans l’espace public tokyoïte, cela m’a aussi permis de retourner, non sans émotion, sur les traces de mes toutes premières enquêtes de terrain. Ces deux mois passés au Japon m’ont permis de découvrir et de concentrer mon travail de terrain sur la ville de Kyôto, où je posais mes valises pour la première fois. J’en ai à présent de magnifiques souvenirs, en particulier sur les rives de la Kamo, rivière qui traverse la ville en son cœur, et dans le paisible voisinage du Daitoku-ji, où je résidais. Dans le cadre de mes recherches, j’ai pu bénéficier du soutien de mon chercheur-hôte, le professeur Yano (Ritsumeikan/Art Research Center) et parcourir la ville de Kyoto afin de « demander mon chemin ». Car c’est en effet ce en quoi consistait mon enquête de terrain: définir les stratégies utilisées par les piétons pour parcourir la ville, en faire l’expérience et enfin la transmettre à autrui. Mes travaux de thèse ont en effet pour objet le réseau des voies en milieu urbain, la permanence de ce réseau, son adaptation et son actualisation, tant dans sa géométrie que dans sa pratique. Je cherche ainsi à apprécier cet objet qu’est le réseau viaire, d’abord par la lecture de sa structure dans son épaisseur temporelle, puis au travers des stratégies de déplacements piétons dont il est le support. Mon objectif est d’établir un lien entre la structure primitive du réseau viaire et les pratiques contemporaines qui s’y ancrent. Dans ce but, j’ai aussi pu partir à la découverte de villes et villages de la côte est du Tohoku, depuis Hachinohe jusqu’à Sendai. J’ai ainsi pu questionner les municipalités ainsi que les habitants sur les stratégies utilisées pour l’évacuation de la population en cas de catastrophes naturelles, telles que lors du tsunami de 2011. Ce séjour a également été l’occasion de m’immerger dans la tradition du festival de Gion, auquel j’ai participé en assurant l’accueil des visiteurs pour la visite du Fune-Hôkô ainsi qu’en aidant au développement d’une application destinée à décrire les chars et leur histoire aux visiteurs étrangers. Enfin, le Summer Program m’a permis des rencontres et amitiés extraordinaires, en particulier parmi les autres français participant au programme. Car la JSPS ne nous offre pas là uniquement l’occasion d’effectuer nos recherches dans un cadre très favorable ni de découvrir un pays magnifique, elle nous permet de vivre une aventure humaine inoubliable. En ce sens, je ne peux qu’encourager les intéressés à postuler à ce programme!

-Invitation Fellowship Program (Long-term)
Name: Dr. Morgan MAGNIN
Affiliation: Associate Professor,
École Centrale de Nantes/IRCCyN
Duration in Japan: June 2014 - March 2015
Host institution in Japan: National Institute of Informatics
Research subject: Building Resilient Dynamic Models
through the Logical Analysis of Key Properties
When I was a kid, many Japanese series (like Astro Boy) were broadcasted on French TV. The key role
of science in the stories was striking. It participated to my wish, some decades after, to build
collaborations with Japanese scientists. After having initiated some common works with my host
researcher, Pr. Katsumi Inoue, JSPS fellowship really allowed me to set this collaboration on a higher
level. Being able to live daily life in a research lab is totally different from having only sporadic
meeting occasions.
The core of my fellowship addressed resilience, which is a crucial concept in many dynamic systems,
whatever their nature (real-time, biological, logistics) is. This notion is critical in order to design a
system reactive enough to face various, but major, changes in its environment: at an organizational
level, this can be the security logistics in case of an earthquake; in biology, the functionality of
circadian rhythm confronted to a wide range of perturbations. During my JSPS research stay, we have
been able to contribute to the design of a logical framework for assessing resilient properties in large-
scale complex dynamic systems. This research, that we achieved to concretize through joint
publications, was really motivating in the sense that it mixed researchers coming from different
background and cultures. This may sound rather cliché, but Japanese researchers are truly dedicated
to their work, yet very welcoming towards their collaborators. I really felt the meaning of the
Japanese word omotenashi (おもてなし), i.e., the sense of hospitality so typical from Japan!
While English is generally sufficient to conduct research in Japan, I had the feeling that studying
Japanese would not only widen my communication capabilities, but also give me a better
understanding of Japanese culture. It was really satisfactory to gradually become able to
communicate with my environment, in the lab. and outside, directly in Japanese.
This 10-months stay in Japan was a great opportunity to explore different topics and open new paths
in my own research. It was a life changing experience and I deeply wish to develop more
collaborations between France and Japan.18 Invitation Fellowship Program (Short-term)
