The Department of Materials Science and Technology aims to generate new materials and new engineering that contribute to the development of industry by exceeding the existing limits of engineering, and also cultivate human resources who contribute to society based on a foundation of specialization in materials science and technology.
Research Groups & Research Areas
-
Design of Advanced Materials
We approach materials useful for diagnosis and treatment, as well as next-generation devices and cutting-edge metal alloys. We handle quasicrystals, hypermaterials, permanent magnets, machine learning (AI), materials informatics, functional glass, and functional ceramics.
Kamimura Research Group / Kotsugi Research Group / Nishio Research Group / Tamura Research Group
-
Design of Advanced Functions
We approach creation, measurement, and manipulation on the nano scale, as well as the future pioneered by photonics and materials, the functional improvement and development of cutting-edge ceramics, and the mysterious world of enchanting liquid crystals. We handle liquid crystals, mechanobiology, biosensors, and gas sensors.
Furue Research Group / Hobara Research Group / Kikuchi Research Group / Soga Research Group / Umezawa Research Group / Watanabe Research Group
-
Environment and Energy Materials
We approach environmental measures such as converting waste heat into electricity for reuse, directly "watching and listening" to atoms and molecules (at the nano scale), and the wonderful future that can be created with glass. We handle thermoelectric conversion waste heat power generation, photocatalysts, photovoltaic cells, and rechargeable batteries.
Iida Research Group / Maeda Research Group / Yasumori-Katsumata Research Group
-
Aerospace Materials
We approach space from the perspective of materials, including the design and evaluation of materials used in space, as well as breakthroughs in 21st-century composite materials. We handle carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP), spacecraft and aircraft structural materials, heat-resistant composite materials, and strength prediction analysis.
