Supervisor
Professor / Noboru YAMADA
Professor Yamada takes care of students and teaches carefully. He often advises students about research, future and so on. His office door is always open to accept questions from student.
Research Content
In this laboratory, we focus on sustainable energy utilization technologies related to solar energy, heat engine, energy conversion / storage / transportation, heat transfer phenomena. The main research contents are as follows. Research on solar power generation, which is drawing attention as "renewable energy". Development of compact heat engine for temperature difference power generation using high-temperature thermal energy called "waste heat". Research on large heat transport device "to recover and transport heat in a large space". Developed a highly efficient mechanical battery system that enables "reciprocating conversion of electric energy and kinetic energy".
Solar cell module that increases power generation efficiency by converging sunlight with a lens.
A Day in the Lab
There is no time restriction in this laboratory. Therefore, you can create you own research style that suits your own life. It is roughly divided into two teams, a research team related to photovoltaic power generation system and thermal engineering, and both teams cooperate each other. Even if there is something you can not understand, your seniors will guide you kindly and carefully. Even at the seminar, regardless of grade, various opinions are overflowing and it is exciting.
It is a usual laboratory. Some graduate students teaching undergraduate students, others reading papers
