Dr. TAKAHARA is a gentle teacher. He politly answers any questions and values communication with students. On the other hand, student who tend to be lazy would have some difficulties and may be testes by the students themselves.

Research Content

Plants are like a cradle that supports many lives on Earth. Mankind has also lived with plants for a long history and used its power. The Applied Plant Engineering Laboratory conducts research to contribute to society using the power of plants. As an example, the heat island phenomenon is one of the problems in an urban area with high-rise buildings. As a countermeasure to this problem, the development of rooftop greening materials using moss is required. Also, phalaenopsis is popular for gifts with beautiful appearance. If we make phalaenopsis with blue flower color, it will create new commercial value. Currently, students are conducting research on these two themes.

A Day in the Lab

Our laboratory has no core time, so you can use the time of the day as you like. In other words, you need to make your own research plan and proceed with responsibility. No matter how panic, the plant does not grow suddenly. We routinely culture and cultivate samples that we need to use on our own. If I am tired of my research, I enjoy chatting with my professor and everyone in the lab.
