Supervisor

Associate Professor / Takashi KiKUCHI, Associate Professor / Toru SASAKI, Assistant Professor / Kazumasa TAKAHASHI
Professor Kikuchi, Sasaki, and Takahashi organize the plasma dynamics laboratory. All professors always empathize with and encourage their students in their laboratories in a friendly and kind manner. Nonetheless, They have a knack for directing us to successful research.

Research Content

Studies on the engineering applications of atmospheric plasma, high energy density physics with power-pulsed 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 dynamic plasma in space and solve engineering problems involving it.

A Day in the Lab

Each student presents their research progress twice a week in the weekly seminar. The professor and senior students provide constructive feedback to help students develop their research. Additionally to the seminar, students may communicate freely with professors and laboratory members via e-mail or in-person meetings about academic/research matters and personal matters for assistance. There are no time restrictions on switching between research and individual activities.
