Professor Technologies for storing, separating and recovering gases such as hydrogen and methane, which are clean energies, as well as carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, are essential for environmental conservation. I am researching methods that use nanomaterials to develop efficient ways to separate, recover, effectively utilize, and reduce these gases under conditions of minimal environmental impact.
Recent Topics of Interests: Development and evaluation of materials for capturing carbon dioxide from air
Motto in Research or in Life: My motto is to have fun studying and experimenting while enjoying the excitement of academics and technology.

ProfessorI am working theoretically on gravitational wave astrophysics to study astronomical objects and the universe while seeking to understand the fundamental laws of physics, including the properties of gravitational waves themselves. Because currently strongly-gravitating objects are the main sources of gravitational waves, I am particularly focusing on the spacetime structure around black holes and the nature of dense nuclear matter comprising neutron stars.
Recent Topics of Interests:
QCD phase structure, Supermassive binary black hole mergers, Dark matter detection through gravitational waves, Observation of Hawking radiation
Motto in Research or in Life:
Conduct research beneficial to physics.
Do not conduct research anyone can come up with.
Hobby / Holiday:

ProfessorI have a keen interest in exploring the solutions known as solitons in dispersive nonlinear partial differential equations. These equations describe a wide range of physical phenomena. However, in real-world scenarios, various disturbances arise, making soliton stability crucial for their practical observability. My research focuses on exploring the mathematical aspects of soliton stability.
Recent Topics of Interest:
I am interested in understanding the asymptotic stability of a type of topological solitons (topological defect) known as ‘kinks.’

Associate ProfessorI conduct research on complex, heterogeneous, and fluctuating aggregate systems, focusing on the development of novel measurement instruments and analytical frameworks to elucidate mesoscale structural information and interparticle interactions. Through this work, I aim to clarify the fundamental principles governing their properties and to enhance their functionality. My primary experimental technique is small-angle scattering.
Recent Topics of Interest:
・Enhancing the functionality of drug nanocarriers
・Translating mesoscale structural information into energetic descriptions of interparticle interactions
・Developing new theoretical frameworks to understand the structural properties of fluctuating systems

Associate ProfessorGenomic DNA, the blueprint of our cells, is constantly subjected to damage. As this damage accumulates, it can lead to various diseases, including aging, cancer, and autoimmune disorders. But is DNA damage always harmful? In fact, it may play an essential role in the maintenance and evolution of life. My research focuses on the relationship between DNA damage, biological mechanisms, and disease.
Recent Topics of Interest:
1) The Butterfly Effect of DNA Damage: DNA damage triggers unexpected changes that spread throughout the cell, significantly altering chromatin function and RNA dynamics. Understanding this phenomenon may provide insights into how DNA damage influences cell fate.
2) DNA Damage and Immunity: I investigate the impact of DNA damage on immune function.
3) Development of a Test for Genomic Toxicity: I create new methods to determine how chemicals affect genomic DNA.
