Katsunori Yoshimatsu, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Frontier Computational Materials Science group studies turbulence theory and the properties of materials using computation. Associate Professor Katsunori Yoshimatsu studies the universal structure of turbulence, in which eddies of many sizes mix together, using large-scale numerical computation and theoretical analysis. Assistant Professor Masaaki Araidai specializes in computational materials science and the electronic properties of surfaces and interfaces. From FY2022 to FY2024, Assistant Professor Araidai used machine-learning potentials to simulate the motion of ions inside battery materials.
Yoshitaka Adachi, Professor
0 student voices
The Adachi Lab studies the relationship between microstructure, the fine internal structure of materials such as metals, and material properties. The lab analyzes microstructure in high dimensions, including its changes over time, to clarify how microstructures form and how properties emerge. It also conducts research that compiles the obtained information using machine learning and modeling to estimate microstructures and properties.
Takahisa Yamamoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Yamamoto Lab uses transmission electron microscopy to analyze the structure of materials at the nanometer scale. Under the theme of materials science through electron microscopy, the lab works on analyzing interfaces between solids, clarifying the mechanisms of flash sintering, and clarifying how materials fracture. It uses methods for observing changes in materials in situ inside an electron microscope, as well as sample preparation techniques based on a focused ion beam.
Yoshifumi Takashima, Professor
0 student voices
The Takashima-Ito Lab studies the generation and use of synchrotron radiation, a powerful light for investigating materials. The lab develops compact electron accelerators that generate the light, as well as the beamlines and measurement instruments used to apply it in experiments. Using photoelectron spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation, the lab also investigates the electronic states inside a wide variety of materials.
Naoki Takata, Professor
0 student voices
The Takata-Tsukada Lab conducts research to understand the micro- and nanoscale microstructures inside structural materials and to create new structural materials. Using both experiments and theoretical calculations and data science, the lab explores the essence of the microstructures produced by how materials are made, and seeks the principles for controlling them. Its work includes developing alloys with metal 3D printers, aluminum alloys that make use of impurities, plating coatings, and predicting microstructures with the phase-field method.
Yasutoshi Iriyama, Professor
0 student voices
The Iriyama-Yajima Lab researches new storage batteries, especially all-solid-state batteries. Replacing the flammable liquid electrolyte of lithium-ion batteries with a nonflammable ceramic solid electrolyte greatly improves battery safety and also extends battery life. The lab focuses on ion movement at the interface between the electrode and the solid electrolyte, which is a major challenge, and works on the design of "nanoionics" with the solid electrolyte at its core.
Hiroshi Harada, Professor
0 student voices
The Materials Processing Engineering Lab studies the process by which metals solidify from a liquid, as well as joining technologies that use metal forming such as forging. Professor Hiroshi Harada lists casting, solidification, electromagnetic force, flow control, and microstructure control as his research keywords. Assistant Professor Eiji Abe's research topics include the development of joining technologies using metal forming and the mechanisms of fatigue in metallic materials.
Yoshiaki Kawajiri, Professor
0 student voices
The Kawajiri Lab applies techniques from process systems engineering and information science to chemical processes. By incorporating methods such as statistics and artificial intelligence into modeling, design, and optimization, the lab aims to develop new chemical processes. Its targets include processes that capture carbon dioxide by adsorption, separation by chromatography, reactive separation, and catalytic reaction processes.
Seiichi Takami, Professor
0 student voices
The Rate Process Engineering Group belongs to the Advanced Process Engineering Division and consists of the Takami Lab and the Matsuoka Lab. The Matsuoka Lab studies soft matter such as polymers, liquid crystals, colloids, and micelles, aiming to understand their physical properties from the molecular level and apply that understanding in engineering. Using original instruments that employ ultrasound and light, the lab aims to gain insight into material properties that conventional methods cannot provide. Prof. Takami of the Takami Lab researches oxide nanoparticles, surface modification, minimal surfaces, and manufacturing inspired by mathematics.
Makoto Kobashi, Professor
0 student voices
The Kobashi-Suzuki-Tsuchida Lab researches how to design the “shape” of materials to create materials with new functions. Porous materials, which contain pores (holes) of various sizes, gain properties such as absorbing impact and exchanging heat efficiently. Using additive manufacturing (3D printing) and powder metallurgy, the lab designs and controls the shape of materials at scales from the nano to the macro.
