Prof. Isobe always cares about us and respects our independence, but also listens attentively to us when we practice presentations for conferences and during seminars. Dr. Kawamura has many opportunities to work with us on experiments and is always available to answer any questions in a friendly and reliable manner.
Research Content
We are studying ultrasonic vibration assisted cutting and grinding. These are processing methods in which ultrasonic vibrations are applied to tools and workpieces, and this method can reduce the cutting and grinding resistance of difficult-to-cut materials. In addition, the vibration trajectory of the tool edge is transferred to the workpiece, creating a fine texture.
Our research focuses on the processing mechanism of these methods and the functionality by the texture.
We are also studying the peculiar phenomenon of the formation of metallic dendritic crystals in glass. By clarifying the mechanism of this phenomenon, we expect in-glass wiring and internal machining.

Texturing by ultrasonic vibration-assisted cutting
A Day in the Lab
We adopt a flexible time system, allowing students to conduct research at their own convenience. We have seminars every day from 8:00 P.M. On Monday morning and Wednesday afternoon, there is a study seminar and thesis seminar, respectively. Which is the person in charge summarizes and presents about a book and a paper related with our research. From Tuesday to Friday there is a progress seminar where students present weekly progress.
It sounds hard, but compared to presenting once a month, it is easier to plan our research schedule. Above all, the weekly presentations make you a better presenter.
