Japanese professor honored for his work

Nurturing young talent

As his team grows, Tsuda feels a profound sense of responsibility and has dedicated himself to talent development since he began his tenure five years ago. "I also hope to continue nurturing young talent," he says.

He developed a course fully taught in English on Molecular Plant Pathology for undergraduates and participates in the reform and development of English-language courses, inviting internationally renowned experts to teach in China.

Tsuda is also actively involved in extracurricular programs like Face-to-Face with Young Scholars, guiding students to explore the frontiers of science and cultivate their research interests.

At the beginning of this new semester at the end of August, Tsuda delivered a talk titled Meet with the Bigger World for incoming freshmen, discussing the intersection of research and life at the university.

After sharing his educational journey through Japan, Germany, the United States, and now China, he reflected on how these diverse cultural experiences have enriched his life.
