Professor / KOMATSU Tosiya and Associate Professor / HIMENO Shuuji
Prof. Komatsu focuses on research on biomass and water environment. Associate Professor Himeno is engaged in joint research with companies, mainly on sewage resources and gas separation membranes. Both of them are very busy, but they spend a lot of their time to give us active guidance.
Research Content
Our laboratory conducts research on the theme of "building a resource- and energy-recycling society. In recent years, various studies have been conducted toward a decarbonized society, and the trend is attracting attention in the sewerage business as well. In this laboratory, we are conducting research on the reuse of biogas obtained from sewage systems and the utilization of unused resources in sewage facilities. In addition to basic research on campus, we also conduct field research at actual environmental sites and joint research with companies, which enables us to conduct research that is closer to practical applications.

A Day in the Lab
In our laboratory, students are divided into groups according to their research themes and conduct experiments in university facilities, sewage treatment plants, and wasabi fields. Our seniors kindly teach us about the experiments. In addition, we often participate in meetings at water environment conferences and joint research projects, which gives us opportunities to interact with people outside the university and to acquire knowledge and skills necessary for future working life, such as business conversation and e-mail etiquette.
