Composite Materials Chemistry Lab

Hiroshi Kamitakahara, Professor

0 student voices

The lab creates next-generation functional materials from biomass such as wood.

The Composite Materials Chemistry Lab works on turning biomass-derived materials, including wood and its components, polysaccharides, and natural rubber, into the basis of new functional materials. The lab pursues precise polymer synthesis, fundamental research on the properties of molecules and materials, and applied research that will be useful in the future. Assigned students learn the fundamentals of organic chemistry and polymer chemistry, and experience the whole process from experiments to presentations and writing papers. Undergraduates join the lab in their fourth year (the graduate program is the Division of Forest Science, Graduate School of Agriculture).

Forest Biochemistry Lab

Yoichi Honda, Professor

0 student voices

A lab that uncovers, starting from genes, how mushrooms break down wood, and applies that power to new materials.

The Forest Biochemistry Lab focuses on white-rot fungi (mushrooms) and uses biochemistry and molecular biology to clarify how matter cycles in forests. The lab applies the knowledge gained to develop new ways of using forests in harmony with natural ecosystems. Its goal is to create a "green civilization" that is compatible with protecting the natural environment and leads to a decarbonized society. Undergraduates join the lab in their fourth year (the graduate program is the Division of Forest Science, Graduate School of Agriculture).

Energy Ecosystem Lab

Haruo Kawamoto, Professor

0 student voices

The lab takes on the chemistry of efficiently producing fuels and chemicals from biomass such as wood.

The Energy Ecosystem Lab conducts research on efficiently producing energy and chemicals from biomass. The amount of biomass produced on land each year is 4 to 5 times the world's primary energy demand. The lab aims to realize a circular society based on biomass in place of fossil resources. Undergraduate students join the lab in their fourth year in the Department of Forest Science (graduate students belong to the Department of Socio-Environmental Energy Science, Graduate School of Energy Science).
