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.

Co-organized 日本エアロゾル科学技術研究討論会 Online Symposium on Aerosol (2020/8)

日本エアロゾル学会第37回エアロゾル科学・技術研究討論会 (jaast.jp) Annual Meeting (Conference) of Japan Association of Aerosol Science and Technology. For the first time, JAAST made the meeting in online. 新型コロナウイルスの感染拡大に伴い,全国規模の「緊急事態宣言」が発出されました.宣言解除後も予断を許さない状況であり,「感染拡大の防止」および「安全な討論会開催」の観点から,本年度は現地開催を取りやめ,「オンライン開催」へ変更することを決定いたしました.In response to the spread of the new coronavirus, a nationwide “state of emergency” has been declared. Even after the declaration has been lifted, the situation is still unpredictable, and from the…

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。

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.

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.

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.
