Professor Kojiro Suzuki was the General Chairperson of the 35th ISTS, and Professor in the Graduate School of Frontier Sciences at The University of Tokyo. He passed away suddenly last December, at the young age of 62.
A special session will be held in his memory at the 35th ISTS, on Monday 14 July, 16:30-17:30. It will be open to the public. 

Professor Suzuki’s research career can be described in three words: flow, space, and freedom. As a world-leading fluid dynamicist, Professor Suzuki made significant contributions to the study of hypersonic high-enthalpy flows and gas dynamics. As an aerospace systems engineer, he pioneered new concepts for easier space exploration and transportation. As a colleague, supervisor, and mentor, he devoted himself deeply and gently to nurturing the dreams and creativity of those around him, bridging between countries, backgrounds, and fields. 

Join us as we reflect on the life and career of a remarkable scientist, engineer, and human being. Presentations by close colleagues of Professor Suzuki will be accompanied by pre-recorded messages and videos.
