Research Description

We are surrounded by a lot of granular materials such as sand, coffee beans, toner particles and so on. Granular materials are known to behave differently from usual solids, liquids, and gases. It is very important to understand their behaviors because it makes us improve the quality of products such as printers that involve the transportation of granular materials. In particular, we study how the behavior of granular materials is affected by the presense of particle interactions, particle shape, or friction between particles under the conditions where an external force is acting.

About TUAT's tenure-track program

It is a nice environment where young researchers can manage an independent laboratory and receive start-up research funding and support for our research. It is also attractive that we can get a connection that is not confined to your own field through an exchange meeting among tenure track researchers.

Future aspirations

I will conduct research and education from a long-term perspective. I will also advance joint research with researchers in other fields granular physics and powder technology.
