Join us ?

Join us as a doctoral student ? Starting from October or April (two times per year).

Are you interested in doing doctoral studies in the science/engineering of particles (nanoparticles, micron-particles, aerosols), as well as their related transport phenomena and phase-tranfers ?

Basic research: Nanometer- and sub-micrometer-sized particles: Synthesis, Measurement, Transport and Assembly

Applications: Material synthesis and processing for energy-related system, plants/food system, chemical-sensor for agriculture, medical-related materials, models for simulating atmospheric phenomena (global warming and climate change, etc.)

⇒⇒ Our research area…

Potential candidates are encouraged to contact us along with Resume, as well as Research Statement.

In this group, Japanese language ability is not “must”. All documents (seminar-handout, abstracts, e-mails) are written in English and all students in our group can speak/write in English. Contact us: LABWL @ cc.tuat.ac.jp

A doctoral student can finish the course (with a degree) shorter than 3 years, if the “necessary condition” (publication numbers, etc.) is satisfied. The graduation months are March, June, September, December (four times in a year)

NOTE: Because a number of candidates (from TUAT Dept. of Chemical Engineering, etc.) applied for the entrance exam, right now our group may has no potential to welcome more a Master’s course student.

For undergraduate students: Japanese language is MUST
本学は、農学部及び工学部の２学部及び関連する分野の大学院からなる科学技術系の大学です。授業及び試験は通常日本語で行われます。したがって、外国人留学生は、十分な日本語能力を備えていることが必要です。本学入学後、外国人留学生向け（学部学生・大学院学生対象）の日本語科目を受講することができます。基本的には、基礎的な日本語を修得している必要があります。

Without a master degree, if the candidate can pass the preliminary qualification examination, he/she can enter the doctoral course and may also finish it within three years.

WHY TUAT?

Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT) at a glance
– A long history that extends back more than 140 years to its inception.
– A unique institution: focuses on education and research in the academic fields that support agriculture and engineering, the core of the industrial base — considering the global-scale issues facing the world today (such as environmental degradation, energy problems, global warming and related abnormal weather patterns, and food supply problems due to explosive population growth)

* A research university * One of national universities in Japan
* 4200+ undergraduates, 1800+ graduate students (including 400+ international students).
* 400+ full-time faculty members (and 370+ part-time members).
* Every year, 140+ Doctoral graduates.

Other facts
* Ranked #1st in terms of its ability to disseminate research findings
* Ranked #5th in its ability to form industry-academia partnerships
* Ranked #5th in its overall research capabilities (2004 by Nikkei; Study of the research capabilities of the engineering schools).

* Ranked #1st, Paper Citation Index (field of engineering, by Asahi Newspaper/University Ranking 2007 and ISI, Web-of-Science)

LOCATION
Our campus is located on Koganei City (Tokyo), which is home of School of Engineering. The campus is 20 minutes by a local-train (Chuo-sen) from Shinjuku* and 35 minutes from Tokyo (central) station.
