Research Content

We analyze material physical properties and phenomena caused by materials by materials by simulation using computer technology. Our goals are to analyze and predict the characteristics and behavior of atoms and molecules based on the systems and assumptions that can be realized by using a computer. We use molecular orbital method and density functional theory to analyze the characteristics of molecules from electronic states, and molecular dynamics method to analyze dynamic change of systems over time. We are approaching phenomena and issues using machine learning, which is often talked about recently.

Structural optimization of carbon dioxide adsorbed on Pt-Ru catalyst

A Day in the Lab

In our laboratory, emphasis is placed on seminars. There are English seminars held every day at noon, thermodynamic seminars held on Tuesday, and paper seminars held on Thursday. In the English seminar, in addition to the basics such as grammar and pronunciation, you will be taught what is necessary for understanding English sentences such as sentence structure and tone of article, so your English reading comprehension ability will improve. In the thermodynamics seminar, we practice thermodynamics problems using textbooks, and in the paper seminar, we will present papers on research themes.
