Professor / NANKO Makoto
Prof. Nanko is an energetic and enthusiastic person who provides both science and general knowledge to students. With the aim of being student-centered, he consistently fosters students' self-study ability as a companion. His focus is on creating an active and positive environment, encouraging students to share and learn collaboratively. Dr. Kuo is an amicable and kind person; she always listens and supports students' needs.
Research Content
Transparent ceramics: fabricated by pulsed electric current sintering have good properties such as high strength, high hardness and excellent corrosion resistance. Transparent ceramics can be applied to electromagnetic windows, transparent armor...
Self-healing ceramics: this material can heal after exposure to high temperatures. The purpose of this research is to improve the self-healing capabilities of ceramics in both air and water vapor, aiming to increase the life-time of ceramics.
Aluminum dross: our purpose is to recycle aluminum that can be used in bricks and ceramic filters...

A Day in the Lab
The workdays start from 8:00 to 17: 00. Every weekday, we conduct a one-hour morning seminar to provide updates on our research progress, and we present an English paper on Thursday evening. The laboratory has sufficient equiptment for student to work. Student has many chances to go to both domestic and international conferences. Our laboratory environment is very friendly and approachable, with all members supporting each other. Students in the laboratory can communicate in English. We regularly engage in activities beyond the typical routine to enhance our connections, such as welcoming newcomers party, laboratory trips, softball competition.
