With the remarkable advancement of AI, groundbreaking innovations are being achieved across various fields of science and technology. While AI demonstrates overwhelming capability in advancing ideas “from 1 to 100” through the use of massive datasets and simulations, the creation of truly original value “from 0 to 1” — concepts that have never before existed — still largely depends on human intuition. In order to cultivate the increasingly important ability to generate such “0 to 1” innovations, our laboratory will pursue the development of new technologies and services with a strong emphasis on observation in real-world settings.
For mechanical production in various fields, such as bio engineering, energy and environment, electronics and disaster mitigation and risks, computer simulation technology as well as experimental method, are studied and educated in our chair. Last topics of research is development of numerical simulator for mechanical property of advanced composite materials, acetabular reconstruction cages made of composite material, and Disaster Mitigation in Urban Areas.
Our goal is to nurture the next generation of leaders who can adapt to the trend away from conventional “mass production and mass consumption” to the future of “diversification” in “value creation”. The program anticipates technological issues with a view to future social needs, and works on problem-solving and innovation in areas ranging from materials development to product realization technologies such as packaging technology, as well as management and business models for these technologies and products.
