Essay: Interdisciplinary Research for the “Next” Education

Global challenges are always complex, so placing an excessive value on a competition will lead the world in the wrong direction. For the long term good, the winner will be meaningless. Understanding and caring about each other’s history is the key to collaborating with other countries.

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).

How Do Micrometer-Sized Wet Aerosols Deposit on Hydrophilic Surfaces? 数μmの湿ったエアロゾルが親水性表面にどのように沈着するのか?

大気に浮遊する微粒子の沈着の場所について考えてみた。”Wet”微粒子は「親水性の高い」場所に多く沈着する。”Dry”微粒子”は「親水性の低い」場所に多く沈着する。Considered the location of the deposition of particles suspended in the air. The results: “More hydrophilic” area trapped more “wet” particles. The “less hydrophilic” area trapped more “dry” particles.

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.
