I am Board of Councilor and Former Deputy President at Shibaura Institute of Technology (SIT) and OB Chair World Technology University Network and Professor at the Graduate School of Science and Engineering / College of Engineering.
My main task is to transform SIT into a high rank university. To accomplish this goal, I have been working and further designed several innovative programs to enhance global initiatives for SIT. For instance, global project based learning (gPBL), advanced project based learning (aPBL), Ph.D innovative program, publication based internship program, high school internship program as these programs are crucial towards global ranking projects.
On the other hand, interested in applications and technology of bulk single-grain superconductors; thus, I had developed a new class of mixed LRE-123 system which can be used up to 15 T at 77 K and high temperatures up to 90.2 K. I also developed a novel technology to produce a RE-123 type silver sheathed wire on the basis of solid state / liquid phase reaction. I have developed bulk MgB2 with enhanced superconducting properties, paving the way to affordable superconducting magnets for medical and transportation applications.
I successfully intellectual mindset enabled me to produce a small type superconducting bulk magnet which is useful to magnetize both high-Tc superconducting materials and magnetic materials in a variety of industrial applications. Further, I also contributed to develop technology for the development of DC Superconducting Cable for Railway system applications.
I am an author and co-author for more than 500 research items including patents, books, review-articles, articles, press release etc., and delivered over 150 oral presentations including plenary and invited ones. I hold several Japanese national and international patents.
