The Plasma Dynamics Laboratory has three faculty members: Professor Kikuchi, Professor Sasaki, and Associate Professor Takahashi. Professor Kikuchi is an alumnus of this university and understands students’ circumstances well. Professor Sasaki makes time for students despite his busy schedule. Associate Professor Takahashi is often in the student room, making it easy to casually discuss research or just chat.
Research Content
Plasma is known as the fourth state of matter and exists in familiar places such as the sun and lightning.
The Plasma Dynamics Laboratory conducts experiments using a wide variety of plasmas. For example, we perform experiments simulating space plasma, research plasma-based processing technologies and materials development, and study plasmas used in medical applications.

A Day in the Lab
This joint laboratory consists of three research groups: the Takahashi Lab, the Sasaki Lab, and the Kikuchi Lab, with approximately 40 students enrolled. Many international students from countries such as Vietnam are also enrolled. Since there is no core time, students can advance their research at their own pace outside of seminar hours. Beyond research activities, we participate in university sports events and attend fireworks displays. Additionally, lab members enjoy barbecues, parties, and snowball fights together.
