At the moment, I have been tring to make a conversion programme in Fortran to grahically represent crystal growth. Although the current zeolite A crystal growth simulation programme was succesfully executed in Fortran and visualised by Mathematica, there are still some problems - time consuming, memory usage especially. Hence, to deal with the problem, the existing Fortran programme was visualised in Surface Evolver instead of Mathematica. It runs much faster than Mathematica, also the direction can be changed (ie, the crystal structure can be moved around in 3D). Now I'm trying to see layer-by-layer crystal growth with muti-colours. I expect that it will be easy for everybody to understand the layer-by-layer crystal growth and be beautifully impressed!

In her spare time Ayako enjoys sailing, listening to music and playing the guitar.
