DEPARTMENTOFENVIRONMENTALSCIENCEANDTECHNOLOGYDepartment of Environmental Science and TechnologyFacultyTopology optimization for optical cloaks Optical cloaking device is a device making an object invisible by minimizing the amount of light scattered by the object. We design optical cloaking structures to minimize scattered light through topology optimization using computer simulations. Large-scale designs and analyses require much time, so knowledge of parallel, high-speed computing is also necessary.Topologically optimal design of optical cloaking structuresWe develop next-generation environmental energy devices by growing high-quality crystals in which alignment of atoms and molecules are controlled precisely. Especially, we create important single crystals that are utilized to environment and energy materials which are applicable to next-generation batteries, split water by irradiation of sunlight and remove various pollutants dissolving in water.Realization of environmental energy devices with single crystalsWe conduct applied research on decomposition and detoxification of hazardous substances by using photocatalysts that function under solar light illumination and natural clay minerals. In addition, we conduct research that leads development of new energy, such as dye-sensitized solar cells based on photocatalysis and photofuel cells that generate power by decomposing waste materials with photocatalysts.Environmental purification and new energy from wastesWe research and develop on advanced small hydroelectric turbines that can utilize efficiently unused hydro potential with little civil engineering works. These turbines can be applied widely to small rivers, agricultural/industrial water ways, water supply and sewage systems, and tidal flows and waves. We work on promotion of renewable energy utilization and solutions to global environmental and energy problems by using our turbines.New concept hydraulic turbines -easy installation, swift generation-SHINSHU UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY MASTER’S PROGRAM023RecentCareerPathsNokaNagasakiStarted in 2013 / Dr. Nakamura's LabIn this department, we have laboratories for mechanical engineering, applied chemistry, and applied biology, and we work hard to solve global environmental problems from various aspects. Since we can exchange ideas with students with knowledge of fields other than one's major, we can improve our “ability to make an observation from a wider viewpoint” that is essential to solve environmental problems.Creation of cutting-edge environmental science and technologyWe conduct research in a wide range of fields in cutting-edge environmental science and technology (eco-technology), including natural energy, environmental materials, environmentally friendly materials, toxic substance decomposition, recycling, optimal design, and life sciences.Kimiyoshi Kitazawa, ProfessorEnvironment-friendly Materials, Forming Processes, and RecyclingCold recycling of metals, incremental forming of metals, and transparent compressed wood materialsTakashi Yoshida, Associate ProfessorComputational Fluid MechanicsNumerical simulation of jet flows andoscillating flows, control of oscillating flows, and computational methodsMasakazu Kataoka, Associate ProfessorAdvanced BiologyMolecular microbiology, genome science, neuro science, and synthetic biologyTakaomi Suzuki, Associate ProfessorPhysical Chemistry on Surfaces and InterfacesMeasurement of free energy on solid surfaces and theoretical research on crystal growthNobuyuki Zettsu, Associate ProfessorMaterial Science for Energy ConversionMaterial Science for Innovative BatteriesPlasmonic devicesFumitaka Hayashi, Assistant ProfessorMaterials Science・Colloid & Interface ScienceSelective uptake of valuable and toxic ions using inorganic ion exchangersHajime Wagata, Assistant ProfessorInorganic Materials ChemistrySolution processes with a low environmental burden and creation of functional materials by controlling nanoscopic structuresHiromasa Nishikiori, ProfessorEnvironmental PhotochemistryDecomposition of hazardous substances by using natural clay minerals and photocatalysts, dye-sensitized solar cells, and photofuel cellsShouichiro Iio, Associate ProfessorFluid Engineering, Eco-friendly Hydraulic Turbines, Water Hydraulics, PneumaticsSmall hydraulic turbines, Water hydraulics, Pneumatics, Fluid control and measurementKatsuya Teshima, ProfessorInorganic ChemistryInnovative next-generation inorganic materials focusing on crystals, thin films, and surfacesMasayuki Nakamura, ProfessorDesign Engineering, Computational Mechanics, and Optical EngineeringResearch on optimal design and optimization methods, mathematical analyses on optical thin films, and design of multilayer filmsLi-Bin Niu, Associate ProfessorMaterials Environmental Strength EngineeringResearch on environmental strength, fracture characteristics, and life-prolonging measures of structural materialsGaruda Fujii, Assistant ProfessorComputational Electromagnetics and Design EngineeringLarge-scale computational analysis of light scattering and design of optical devices by means of optimization methodsNobuaki Tanaka, Associate ProfessorPhotochemistryPhotochemical reactions inlow-temperature matrices, synthesis offluorescent molecules, and computational chemistryToyota Motor, Aisin Seiki, Aisin AW, Daihatsu Motor, Suzuki Motor, Daikin Industries, Mitsubishi Electric, Hitachi, Toshiba, Kyocera, Shin-Etsu Chemical, Shinko Electric Industries, East Japan Railway, Chiyoda, JGC Plant Innovation, IHI Plant Engineering, Mitsui Zosen Environment Engineering, NGK Spark Plug, TOTO, LIXIL, Takasago Thermal Engineering, Komatsu, Brother Industries, Taiyo Yuden, Ibiden, Toyota Auto Body, Toyota Industries, Mitsubishi Paper Mills
