Droplet generator: Ultrasonic nebulizer (1.7 MHz). Micrometer sized sprayed droplets include silica nanoparticles (average particle diameter of 145 nm). A single substrate with areas having different “level” of hydrophilicity was used as a model surface. A low-pressure analysis method (electron-microscope SEM) and ordinary (1 atm) pressure methods (Raman spectroscopy and X-ray fluorescence) analytical results indicated…

The “merger”: 25 research groups/PI (Profs. & Assoc. Profs.) are affiliated with four departments (Chemical engineering化学システム工学科 (13), Applied physics物理システム工学科 (8), Electrical & electronic engineering電子電気工学科 (2), Mechanical/Energy engineering機会システム工学科 (2)) of TUAT Faculty of Engineering (-2018).
◆環境に優しい（磁性）ナノ粒子製造プロセスを提案。◆水と鉄（電極）以外に化学薬品は必要ない
*Environmentally friendly process for (magnetic) nanoparticles. *No chemicals are needed, except water and iron (electrode).
In my research group, a student and I design the thesis research theme that student want to do, together. This “design process” may take several months, but I think the students have the power they need in an era where problem setting is more important than problem solving. 研究室では、学生がやりたい卒論研究テーマについて学生と一緒に設計していきます。この「設計」が数カ月かかる作業になったりしますが、問題解決能力より課題設定能力が大事と言われる時代において求められる力を身に着けていると思います。

農学系研究のスピードは「遅い」であった。有機的、学際的プロジェクトは、工学系学生がミクロとマクロのスケールでシステムを学び、物質のbadとgood側面を考えるための良い媒体である。 The speed of agricultural research was “slow”. An organic, interdisciplinary project is a good medium for engineering students to learn a system in micro- and macro-scales and to consider the “good” and “bad” sides of the matter.

In April 2018: Six students (D/M/B) graduated, after year(s) worked with us. Here is the updated data of our lab’s 40+ graduates, 11 years after the lab started. Because “diversity matter” is our lab’s keyword, the graduates’ positions also have diversity. Only one company (Toray Industries) has two graduates. Four graduates changed the job places….
