Exploring the Space with Modern Alchemy Technology: Pioneering Sustainable Innovation for Recycling Society

Faculty of Engineering, Chiba University

Takaaki WAJIMA

Associate ProfessorI am conducting research with the aim of developing innovative processes that transform underutilized waste materials and natural products into functional substances. This involves modifying crystal and surface structures to release useful substances or generate new functionalities. In addition, through the evaluation of these newly obtained materials, I am exploring ways to create novel materials and innovative approaches to material science.

Recent Topics of Interest:
Recovery and conversion techniques of valuable materials from waste composite materials
Development of salt-trapping materials for soil recovery in salt-damaged areas
Advancement of resource engineering technology for space exploration
Motto in Research or in Life:
If you know your enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.
Hobby / Holiday: Tennis, Watching sports
