This month, our family began adapting to a new environment in Saitama. One memorable moment was my daughter's first day at kindergarten. We are thankful to see her gradually becoming comfortable.

In August, I had the opportunity to return to Institut Teknologi Del, also Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), and give a guest lecture at SCCIC on “How Machines See the World: Smart Sensing for Smart X.” It was a meaningful opportunity to share my research experience, discuss emerging sensing technologies, and reconnect with the academic community.
