Supervisor

Professor / KATO Ariyuki
Mr. Kato is a Kyoto University graduate with an amazingly quick-thinking and very knowledgeable. Therefore, he is very supportive of our research. He is very mild-mannered, so if you ask him something you don't understand, he will tell you right away.

Research Content

Our laboratory deals with "phosphor materials. Phosphor materials are luminescent materials applied to light-emitting devices such as LEDs, and play an important role in determining device performance. Since luminescence efficiency varies depending on the combination of elements as well as the fabrication method, trial and error is necessary. Once materials are fabricated, performance evaluation is performed. After physical and engineering evaluations, the results obtained will be discussed with the professor.

A Day in the Lab

There are no core hours in this laboratory. Except for attending weekly thesis seminars and bi-weekly research progress report meetings, students can basically use their time freely for research. Some students work on their research in the morning and leave in the evening, while others work through the afternoon and into the evening.The laboratory has a very good atmosphere. You can easily get to know each other regardless of your grade.
