Lenggoro: One of university TUAT executive officers 大学の役職員

Among the executive officers of our university (2023), Prof. Lenggoro is the only one with a non-Japanese name. He has been serving as the Chair of the Tenure Track Promotion Organization at Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology since 2023. 2023年より、レンゴロ教授東京農工大学・テニュアトラック推進機構・機構長を勤めています。

TUAT “moonshot” project PI, Dr. T. Suzuki on NHK-TV (Feb.6)“昆虫食”が世界を救う”Insect Food” will save the world.

多様な方法で「貧栄養のエサ」から「良質のたんぱく質を作り出す」昆虫の驚きの能力や、飼育による環境負荷が小さい「地球にやさしい食糧源」としての可能性も見えてきた。various ways, and their potential as an “earth-friendly food source” with a small environmental impact from their farming, have also come to be recognized.

Prof. Kozo Kuchitsu 朽津 耕三 先生 1927-2021

During 2007-2019, a lot of students from our lab received his guidance, before they submit a manuscript to a journal. 研究室の多くの博士課程学生がジャーナルに原稿を投稿する前に、先生の指導を受けました

Promoting Sustainable Agriculture: TUAT and JA Shimane Partnership

Our research group played a key behind-the-scenes role by linking Mr. Masuda to TUAT researchers. We first met Mr. Masuda through a CEO introduced to us at a conference, and subsequently facilitated the connection that integrated his technology into TUAT’s work. This crucial link helped build the collaboration that supports sustainable regional agriculture.

Published) Deposition of submicron aerosols by closed-loop flow. 閉鎖循環流システムによるエアロゾル粒子の堆積 (Takahashi Award)

沈着効率が悪い従来法に代わって本手法を気液界面細胞曝露に応用できれば有用である。Our method presented here may potentially be applied for the deposition and analysis of submicron particles on various types of substrate (i.e. air-liquid interface) without the need for vacuum imaging analysis (e.g. electron microscopy).

Alumni卒業生: 機械学習で”摩擦学”アプリ A machine learning “Tribology” app.

Note: 開発者の卒論のテーマは植物由来原料を添加した燃焼合成法による二次電池用粉末の合成でした。英国の大学院に進学し、「摩擦」研究者になりました。The subject of the developer’s bachelor thesis was the synthesis of powders for rechargeable batteries by combustion synthesis using plant-based materials. She went to postgraduate school in the UK and became a ‘friction’ researcher.

著書 Nanoparticles Carrying Biological Molecules (Book Chapter)

The conjugation of nanoparticles and biomolecules has found applications in bioimaging, biocatalysis, drug delivery, and biosensors. ナノ粒子と生体分子の「共役」は、バイオイメージング、生体触媒、薬物送達、バイオセンサーなどの分野で応用が見出されている。

卒業生に日本エアロゾル学会奨励賞 (Alumni) Dr. Naoya Hama: Young Researcher Award (Association of Aerosol Science & Tech.)

受賞対象研究：さまざまな粒子発生源に対するエアロゾル（気中）計測装置の適用性に関する研究、および企業会員と学会の連携強化に対する貢献。Research on the applicability of aerosol (gas-phase) measurement devices to a variety of particle sources and contributions to strengthening collaboration between company members and academic societies.

植物が主役の研究で、工学的手掛かりを得る(Invited talk) The vegetation-driven research provides engineering clues (2018)

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.
