Scientific research is about making dreams. Scientific dreams can stimulate human activities, creating further progress. We scientists must continue working to create new science, but work alone cannot necessarily assure scientific progress. We need to face the challenges to create new concepts in science, even if it is not easy. The great pleasure in science is not in routine studies, but in challenging studies. Our Research Group consists of distinguished professor Katsumi KANEKO, professors and researchers.

Hirotoshi SakamotoAssistant Professor
Shinshu University Online System of General Academic Resources Research Field：Porous Materials

Our main concept "porous" means that we've got space to fill. I would like to do "stuffed" research.

Have feelings of curiosity and keep trying!!

Ryusuke FutamuraPostdoctoral Researcher Research Field：Adsorption, X-ray scattering measurement.

Nanospaces are always surrounded by solids. It means that it is crucial how to elucidate fluids behaviors in nanospaces.

Shuwen WangResearcher Research Field：Production of H₂ and carbon nanotubes from CH₄ decomposition in carbon nanospaces

I graduated Chiba University in September, 2012.
