As a result, they will becomepromising engineers with overall engineering sense,includingresolution,problem explorationapplication and practice, and engineering ethics.We are exploring supramolecular gels to developeco-friendly materials, biomimetic systems, saferdrug delivery, and more efficient agriculture.Our goal is to create innovative solutions that arekind to both people and the planet—shaping asustainable future through smart materials.We aim to apply our expertise in material designand problem-solving to fields like environment,medicine, and agriculture. Our goalis to fosterresearchers and engineers who can contribute to asustainable and global future.Producing drinking water, purifying polluted water, and recovering resourcesfrom effluent are extremely important processes that fundamentally supportindustry and human life. Membrane is one of the essentialitems in theseprocesses. When a membrane is made from fibers with nano-sized diameter,ultrafine particles can be filtered with an ultrafine mesh, dissolved moleculesand ions can be adsorbed onto the fiber surface with a large surface area, andspecific substances can also be selectively separated and recovered byfunctionalizing the fiber surface. Our research will support the establishment ofa comfortable and prosperous society through novel functional membranes andadvanced treatment systems.ProfessorMUKAI YasuhitoAfterfromreceiving his Ph.D.Nagoya University in 1998, heworked as an assistant professorand an associate professor atNagoya University, and then hetook his current position in 2024.His research focuses on the com-bination of chemical engineeringand textile engineering.At our lab, we are developing sustainable gel materials by preciselycontrolling weak molecular forces known as supramolecular interactions.Among these, we focus on flexible "supramolecular gels" that respond toexternal stimuli—such as light, heat, or pH—by changing their structure andproperties. Through innovative molecular design, we aim to create newmaterials that combine both strength and recyclability—two qualities thatare typically difficult to achieve together. We're also working to apply thesesmart materials in real-world settings, developing systems that can deliverdrugs, nutrients, or agrochemicalstailored toenvironmental conditions.Associate ProfessorLEE Ji Ha Ph.D. in Science from GyeongsangNational University (S.
