Lecturer / SATO Daisuke
Dr. Sato is a friendly faculty who creates a good atmosphere in which it is easy to consult with him. He also supports us in creating an environment where we can concentrate on our research activities and gives us enthusiastic guidance through seminars.
Research Content
Our research focuses on solar energy and carbon-free fuels as sustainable energy sources. We are also actively involved in joint research with companies. Therefore, we can engage in cutting-edge research that is required by recent society. Our research activities vary from the development of solar cells for space application, the design of small combustion power generation modules using biogas and fire and explosion protection technologies for safe hydrogen operation. Thus, it is easy for you to find a theme suitable for you.

A Day in the Lab
Our laboratory doesn’t have core time, so that we can proceed everyone’s research freely. Seminars are held once a week, but the presentation opportunities are divided between undergraduates and masters students, so that individual opportunity to present is once two weeks. Additionally, various events are held in our laboratory like drinking parties and softball tournaments. The atmosphere in the laboratory is very friendly and we help each other in our research.
