Professor / SAITOH Hidetoshi
Professor Saitoh supports students with both strict and gentle guidance, drawing on multifaceted perspectives gained from a wide range of research fields. In addition, as a Director of the Society of Water Rescue and Survival Research, he promotes the concept of “Uitemate” worldwide.
Research Content
Our laboratory conducts a wide range of research in materials science. Recent studies focus on synthesizing and evaluating metal films that improve the water resistance of concrete, as well as film fabrication using chemical vapor deposition(CVD). We also emphasize biologically related research, including the synthesis and functional evaluation of antibacterial metal films for concrete. In addition, hydrogen storage materials are evaluated using gas chromatography.
Laboratory-Owned Gas Chromatograph(GC)
A Day in the Lab
Laboratory seminars are held early in the morning, starting at 7:50 a.m. Unlike many other laboratories, there is no fixed core time, allowing students flexibility in their research. During morning seminars, students present and discuss research progress and English papers. Through repeated discussions, key points become clearer for both speakers and listeners. These seminars help students develop clear presentation slides and effective question-and-answer skills.
