AboutAbout the lab
Design guidelines for materials, from simulation
The Watanabe Lab conducts research that uses computer simulations to predict the properties of materials and related characteristics, and develops the methods needed to do so.
Its goal is to obtain design guidelines for new materials and for the processes used to make them.
The lab mainly addresses problems related to the electrical properties of nanostructures, which form the foundation of nanotechnology.
It is also expanding its research targets to biomaterials and eco-materials.
Key terms
- Nanotechnology
- Technology for making and studying things in an extremely small world, close to the size of atoms and molecules
- Atomic switch
- An extremely small switch that turns electric current on and off through the movement of atoms
- Materials informatics
- An approach that uses data and machine learning to predict the properties of materials and search for new materials
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to obtain guidelines for the materials design of new electronic and energy-related devices through atomic-scale simulation. It investigates how electrons, ions, and heat are transported at the nanoscale, along with the related phenomena and properties, and also incorporates materials informatics methods. It is also developing the computational and analytical methods and programs needed for this work.
