Mamoru Mohri

Mamoru learned at Flinders University that he could not just survive, but thrive, and developed into a more complete person. Those Australian discoveries led Mamoru to be a professor at Hokkaido University in Japan. They also resulted in the realisation of his childhood dream to become an astronaut.

Over the years he has enjoyed vibrant, dynamic connections with Australia. "I thank Flinders because it was there I learned to welcome the challenges of change, as they expanded my knowledge, enhanced my perspectives, and enticed me with completely new possibilities."
