We held the annual research presentation and discussion meeting by doctoral students of the Nuclear and Hadron Physics Laboratory. This year-end tradition is a vital gathering for sharing the progress of each student's challenging research and engaging in in-depth discussions. From our subgroup, the Strangeness Nuclear Physics Group, Teppei Iwamoto (D1) and Kengo Ebata (D3) took the stage to present their achievements.

Our laboratory pursues a wide range of research in nuclear and hadron physics, including:

• Constraining the Equation of State (EOS) via nuclear radius measurements at RIKEN.
• Unraveling neutron star internal structures through high-precision hypernuclear spectroscopy at JLab (USA) and J-PARC (Japan).
• Studies on nucleon structure at RHIC (USA) and mass generation mechanisms at J-PARC.

The passionate talks by the graduate students leading these forefront research projects greatly inspired the lab members. It was a meaningful opportunity to engage in lively discussions and acknowledge each other's efforts over the past year.
