Graduate School of Engineering, Chiba University
Assistant ProfessorThrough the development of advanced measurement methods based on positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS)—a non-destructive and highly sensitive technique for detecting open-volume defects in materials—I investigate the formation of hydrogen-related defects and their role in the hydrogen embrittlement of metals. My aim is to elucidate this mechanism at the atomic level, thereby promoting the development of hydrogen-resistant materials for use in hydrogen energy infrastructure. This research will support the wider adoption of hydrogen energy and contribute to achieving clean energy goals.
In addition, I am engaged in research on evaluating the pharmaceutical stability of complex lyophilized formulations through free-volume measurements using PAS.
