My name is Ion, and I am working as a summer trainee at Murata Finland’s Failure Analysis team. I am currently studying materials science at Aalto University at a master’s level and plan on graduating in the summer of 2025.

The Kaizen Core team brings together Murata Finland employees who share a burning passion for improving operations and enhancing the work environment.

I work in Finland at Murata’s R&D, and recently, I had the opportunity to go on assignment to Japan. My family and I moved here in January 2024. These past months and life in Japan have been challenging, wonderful, and definitely also strange.
