Masaya Nogi, Professor
0 student voices
The Natural Materials Functionalization Lab (Nogi Lab) studies new materials made with cellulose nanofibers. Cellulose nanofibers are extremely fine fibers contained in all plants on Earth. In 2008, the lab succeeded in making "transparent paper" from these fibers, and it is now developing new materials. The lab is located in the Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research (SANKEN) at Osaka University, and its graduate students belong to the Division of Applied Chemistry, Graduate School of Engineering.
Masanori Sakamoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Sakamoto Lab (Metal-Organic Hybrid Materials Research Group) studies functional materials and energy conversion systems that use infrared light as light energy. Infrared light accounts for about 46% of solar energy, but no effective way to use it has been established in modern society. The lab takes on research themes that have not yet been realized, including its "research to turn cities into forests," which involves developing transparent solar cells that generate electricity from infrared light. Through collaboration with OPTMASS Inc., a startup spun out of the lab, students can also experience firsthand how cutting-edge research is put into practical use in society.
Tohru Sekino, Professor
0 student voices
The Sekino Lab (Advanced Hard Materials Research Group) studies the structural design and control, from the nano to the macro scale, of materials centered on ceramics and metals. The lab creates bulk materials and nanomaterials that combine diverse functions, investigates their structures and fundamental physical properties and characteristics, and clarifies the mechanisms by which those properties arise. Through this research, the lab aims to create next-generation foundational materials that help solve important challenges facing society, and to put them to use.
Yuki Yamada, Professor
0 student voices
The Yamada Lab (Energy and Environmental Materials Research Group) focuses on the flow of storing, converting, and using energy, and studies materials and technologies that help solve environmental problems. To make lithium-ion batteries higher-performing and safer, and to realize new secondary batteries that go beyond them, the lab develops new materials and reactions, centered on the electrolyte that carries ions between the positive and negative electrodes. For fuel cells, the lab develops electrode catalysts that reduce the amount of precious metals used. It also works on Power-to-X devices that use electricity to synthesize high-value-added substances. The lab also takes on establishing new theories that form the foundation of electrochemistry.
Tomonao Hosokai, Professor
0 student voices
The Quantum Beam Physics Lab (Hosokai Lab) sets out relativistic plasma engineering, ultra-high-intensity laser applications, laser-plasma particle acceleration, and applications of RF accelerators as its research themes. It belongs to Research Department 2 (Materials and Beam Science) of the Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research at The University of Osaka. This department conducts research on the generation, control, and measurement of high-brightness, high-quality quantum beams.
Takahiro Kozawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Quantum Beam Materials Science Lab (Kozawa Lab) studies the chemical reactions, and the reaction fields, that quantum beams such as electron beams and extreme ultraviolet light induce in materials. The use of quantum beams in the ionizing radiation range, as in extreme ultraviolet lithography for semiconductor manufacturing, is expected to expand significantly in the future. The lab aims to clarify the mechanisms from the deposition of energy by quantum beams, through chemical reactions, to the emergence of function, and to build new chemical reaction systems that make it possible to manufacture next-generation high-performance semiconductors. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name 'Kozawa Lab.'
Yasushi Sakurai, Professor
0 student voices
Sakurai Lab studies technologies that use large-scale data to analyze, in real time, the time evolution of natural and social phenomena. The lab develops pioneering technologies for optimizing social activities, and works to put them into practice in society while asking 'what technology is truly practical?' Targeting IoT big data, the lab analyzes and learns the temporal changes of phenomena and activities with nonlinear dynamical models, discovers important patterns, and predicts future events. Sakurai Lab belongs to the Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research at The University of Osaka, and is a cooperating chair (Intelligent Data Science Chair) of the Graduate School of Information Science and Technology.
