Misa Hayashida Scholarship

The scholarship has been established in memory of Dr. Misa Hayashida, a talented researcher who made important contributions to development and applications of electron microscopy. Misa’s contributions to science were stopped by her passing at an early age. The scholarship aims to preserve her curious spirit and her love for scientific discovery. The initial endowment for the scholarship was provided primarily by her family, with contributions from friends and colleagues.
