  • Prof. Toshiyuki HASHIDA

    Major Field:
    Material engineering for energy conversion, Strength and fracture of materials, Earth energy, Composite materials
    Research Area:
    The research of this laboratory aims at the establishment of next-generation energy, which is expected to play an important role for the future sustainable development. Our research is focused on the development of a design methodology for energy conversion system and material circulation system such as engineered geothermal energy extraction systems (HDR/HWR systems), geological sequestration of CO2, carbon nanotube nano-composites, and solid oxide fuel cells. We are also conducting experimental and numerical simulation research for developing a new class of energy materials on the basis of fracture and degradation mechanism.

  • Associate Prof. Kazuhisa SATO

    Major Field:
    Strength and fracture of materials, Solid state electrochemistry
    Research Area:
    Solid state ionic devices (SSID), such as solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and lithium ion batteries etc… can achieve an extremely high power generation efficiency, and thus are attracting attention as a next-generation system.
    Achieving practical SSIDs will require more than just improvement in power generation performance; ensuring reliability and durability will also be crucial. The aim is to develop a foundation of SSIDs design/evaluation methods which take into account mechanical and electrochemical factors.

  • Assistant Prof. Fumio OGAWA

    Major Field:
    Material strength, Nanomaterials, Composite material, High temperature strength
    Research Area:
    Carbon nanotube, which is a nanomaterial with superior strength and thermal conductivity, fabrication of composites reinforced by carbon nanotube, development of their applications are studied. The study includes not only academic research but also development of methods and materials which can be used in the society. High temperature strength and creep of steels used in next generation fast breeder reactor and nuclear fusion reactor are also studied. Researches are carried out to contribute to safe and secure society.
