Mr. Higuchi (M1) gave a presentation titled “Benchmarking Black-Box Optimization Methods for Weather Control Applications” at the Moonshot Goal 8 Workshop held on October 29 at the University of Tokyo Hongo Campus (Tokyo).
I participated in the mini-workshop on Moonshot Goal 8 “Mathematical Weather Control and Prediction.” It was a valuable opportunity to learn how other researchers are approaching weather control from mathematical perspectives. Since my presentation was in English, I found it particularly challenging to understand some of the questions during the Q&A session. However, the advice I received provided important hints for advancing my research.
Mr. Binquan Qiu (D1) also participated in the same workshop.
Thanks very much to the laboratory for providing this opportunity to participate in the conference. This was my first time attending and learning at a conference focused on weather control. During the event, I listened to presentations and saw posters on weather prediction, weather visualization, rainfall control, and typhoon control. While some of the content was unfamiliar and a bit challenging to understand, it gave me a preliminary insight into the current research in the field of weather control, which will be greatly beneficial for my future studies in this area. Besides the conference, I also experienced Tokyo's beautiful nightscape and the convenience of its modern amenities, making it a pleasant and relaxing learning journey.
Ms. Qiuyi Ren (M1) also participated in the same workshop.
I participated in the International Symposium on Weather Controllability 2025 organized under the Moonshot Goal 8 program. Through this symposium, I gained a deeper understanding of the overall objectives and research roadmap of the weather controllability project. In the poster session, I also learned a great deal from other researchers’ latest studies and experimental results on weather control, meteorological data, and the interrelation between weather and societal impacts.
