Noriko Matsumoto works as a creative programmer and technical director. The collaborative research and development she undertook with Professor Masami Hirabayashi was put into practical use, generating revenue that enabled her to establish a supporting grant for female students to cover the tuition fees for their second semester (2024) in collaboration with IAMAS, and then she proceeded to make a donation to IAMAS. Professor Masami Hirabayashi spoke with her about what led to the donation and the thoughts and motivations behind it.
