Bridging Engineering & Agriculture: From Convenience to Cooperation

“For years, my background in chemical engineering (and applied physics) focused on ‘advanced materials for convenience.’ However, as we face the complex challenges of the VUCA era, my interest has shifted. Today, my lab focuses on ‘appropriate technology for cooperation.’ By applying particle technology to agriculture and bio-resources, I aim to visualize the invisible ‘flow’ of matter and energy—creating engineering solutions that work in harmony with living systems, not just industrial ones.”

工学と農学の架け橋:利便性から協働へ

長年、私の専門である化学工学および応用物理は『利便性のための先端材料』に焦点を当ててきました。しかし、VUCA時代の複雑な課題に直面する中で、その関心は大きく変わりました。現在、私の研究室は『協働のための適正技術』に力を注いでいます。移動現象論や微粒子工学を農業やバイオ資源に応用し、物質とエネルギーの「見えない流れ」を可視化することで、産業システムだけでなく、生物システムと調和する工学的ソリューションの創出を目指しています。
