マスク装着（エアロゾル学会）Mask-wearing

Point-1.「繊維の隙間より小さい粒子はマスクのフィルターを通過する」は間違い “Particles smaller than the fiber gap pass through the filter of the mask” is not accurate

Point-2. 大事なことはマスクのフィルター性能より,マスクの縁と顔表面との隙間からの漏れ（侵入）を少しでもなくすこと。It is important to eliminate the leakage (intrusion) from the gap between the mask edge and the face surface, rather than the filter performance of the mask.

開発の事例：微粒子の合成と構造化 Example of Technology: Synthesis & Structuring of Particles (2018-2019)

浮遊する微粒子の構造化と集積化について、従来まで考証されていなかった物質の輸送に対する「駆動力のバランス」の視点からの技術手法を開発した。We have developed methods for synthesis & structuring suspended particles from the viewpoint of “balance of the driving force on the transport of matter”, which has not been considered before.

“Old” and “new” students (2019/3)

After three years with us, Y. Hogaki and S. Azuhata, two master-course graduates entered the industries (Hitachi Chemical 日立化成, and Daikin Industries ダイキン工業) and other two fellows (without master-thesis), Y. Asanuma and N. Yoshida, continued to the doctoral course, still with our research group. 2名が博士課程進学 >> Current Members. >> Alumni.

(Interview on the new department) 化学物理工学科教員が目指す次世代人材育成

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。

Roundtable Discussion: “Shaping the Future Society through Chemical Engineering” Hosted by the Society of Chemical Engineers, Japan 化学工学会（2018年）座談会「未来社会を拓く化学工学会へ」

化学工学が異分野とのコミュニケーションを促進し、スケール感覚を養う学問。同時に、国際的な視点から、過剰な日本製品の文化は必ずしも求められておらず、真の適正技術の追求こそが重要です。Chemical engineering was highlighted as a field that fosters communication across different disciplines and develops a crucial sense of scale. However, from an international perspective, it was noted that the culture of “too-much” Japanese product complexity isn’t always needed, underscoring the importance of pursuing truly appropriate technology.
