IDA Tamio

Position: Professor
Laboratory: Micro-Energy Laboratory

Renewable Energy, Microcombustion Science, Scale Modeling Engineering, Coating/Drying Engineering

We do research and education in multiple domains, while, with a focus on areas such as biofuel, hyperthermia for treating brain cancer, and microcombustion science, fostering industry-government-academia tie-ups, collaborating with other faculties and departments, and doing joint research in other fields—in Japan and internationally.

OKUBO Takashi

Position: Professor
Laboratory: Opto-Electronic Functional Chemistry Laboratory

Coordination Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Organic Opto-Electronic Devices

A variety of functional materials are used in electronic products such as televisions, computers, and cell phones, and recently, electronic products using organic materials such as organic EL televisions are becoming more familiar. In our laboratory, we are focusing on metal complexes, and are developing new metal complexes that can be applied to electronic devices, such as thin-film solar cells, field-effect transistors (FETs), and organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). We are also developing new metal complexes in order to apply them to electronic devices. We are also conducting research to improve the efficiency of organic thin-film solar cells.

KOMINAMI Hiroshi

Position: Professor
Laboratory: Surface Design Chemistry Laboratory

Physical Chemistry, Catalytic Chemistry

Catalysts are what control chemical reactions. This laboratory develops intelligent catalysts to enable more effective resource utilization and allow full use of natural energy sources and waste materials. In addition, we also conduct research on earth-friendly chemical reactions such as energy conversion and environmental cleanup.

FUCHIHATA Manabu

Position: Professor
Laboratory: Thermal Engineering Laboratory

Combustion Engineering

We give thought to fuels and combustion technologies that minimize emissions of hazardous substances and carbon dioxide. We research small-scale, high-efficiency, and low-pollution technologies to burn various fuels that can be produced from plant-derived biomass.

TANAKA Senku

Position: Associate Professor
Laboratory: Organic Electronics Laboratory

Organic Electronics, Organic Solar Cells

Our goal is to produce an advanced electronic device using organic semiconductors. We focus on the development of organic solar cells and perovskite solar cells.
