チタンやマグネシウムなどの生体との相性のよい金属をベースに、金属とセラミックス、樹脂のそれぞれの優れた性質を組み合わせた生体材料の開発や、生体中での腐食摩耗に関する研究を行っています。結晶構造や性質の異なる素材同士を一体化させるには材料の界面の性質が重要になってきます。生体や海中など特殊な環境におかれた材料の界面や表面の性質を詳しく知るため、電子顕微鏡による組織観察や様々な分析機器による表面分析、機械試験等を行っています。

By refining the individual biomolecules that make up human cells and combining only the necessary ones, we have successfully reproduced part of the functions of human cells in test tubes. This simple system will be useful for explaining the mechanisms that cause viruses to proliferate and explain the causes of illnesses caused by protein abnormalities. In this manner, we are advancing research that contributes to healthy living of humans, through the development of technological foundations for preventing various diseases and discovering treatment methods.

Professor Koichi Kusabe

Currently, it is possible for computers to reproduce physical phenomena at a atomic scale and at an accuracy that yields data extremely close to experimental results.

I am conducting research on this computational materials science, from its fundamental principles to its application.

I believe that these results can be used for designing and proposing new materials and electronic devices that can create technological innovations and contribute to the formation of industrial infrastructure.

There are multiple undertakings of co-development with experimental sciences that aim for countermeasures against warming, such as research into the design of reaction conditions of hydrogen-related materials in particular.

For such a goal, a highly durable perovskites solar cell was completed. (That is what I am holding in my hands in the picture.)

I am also doing research and development into hydrogen fuel cells with ultra-durable catalyzers and platinum-free catalyzers, in order to use that energy. (A hydrogen cabinet is pictured on the right side of the picture. Pictured on the left side is an air tank.) We will keep on creating amazing developments.

The violent winds, high tides, and heavy rainfall from typhoons cause major damage to society. In that regard, my graduate school is developing a highly accurate forecasting model of typhoons using an ultra-large mock ocean experimental tank called a “typhoon simulation tank”, the only one of its kind in Japan.

Moreover, being able to modify typhoons, much like suppressing global warming, will create a society with fewer disasters, so we are also investigating that potential.

We are also utilizing engineering to develop ocean energy technologies.
