Associate professor Kikuchi, Sasaki and Takahashi organize the plasma dynamics laboratory. Each associate professor has different areas of expertise and can provide the meaningful advice if you have questions about your research. All associate professors always empathize with and encourage their students in a friendly and kind manner.
Research Content
Studies on the engineering applications of atmospheric plasma, high energy density physics with power-plused discharges, magnetohydrodynamics, and beam physics are being conducted. The experimental and simulation studies primarily focus on the properties, characteristics, and mechanisms associated with dynamic plasma. Through these experiments and simulations, it is possible to understand better the physical mechanisms underlying the natural phenomena of dynamics plasma in space and solve engineering problems involving it.

A Day in the Lab
The plasma dynamics laboratory consists of three associate professors and more than 30 students, including many international students. There is no core time in the laboratory, so students can work on their research at their preferred times. Each student presents their research progress once a week in the weekly seminar. The associate professor and senior student provide constructive feedback to help students to develop their research. Aside from research, students deepen their friendship through events such as futsal and other sports competitions and the Nagaoka Fireworks.
