The lab uncovers the physics behind laser and plasma processing phenomena.

AboutAbout the lab
Making a science of manufacturing, grounded in the physics of processing
The Processing Physics Lab (Sano Lab) studies the physics of material processing using lasers and arc plasmas.
By combining advanced measurement techniques with numerical simulation, the lab pursues the “universal truths” hidden in processing phenomena.
Based on these truths, the lab aims to predict and control material processing phenomena and to create manufacturing with unprecedented value.
The lab's day-to-day activities are shared on Instagram.
Key terms
- Arc plasma
- A high-temperature state in which gas is ionized by an electrical discharge. It is used in processing as a high power density energy source
- Numerical simulation
- A method that expresses a phenomenon in mathematical equations and reproduces or predicts it through computer calculation
- Material processing
- The steps that give a material its shape and properties by cutting, melting, joining, and so on
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies material processing that uses high power density energy sources such as lasers and arc plasmas, combining measurement techniques with numerical simulation. Through predicting and controlling processing phenomena, it aims to develop material processing methods that have never existed before.
