5. Collaboration Works in the Laboratory for Complex Energy Processes

概要

The laboratory was established for research on advanced energy by the collaborative projects among the
researchers in the Institute of Advanced Energy to promote joint activity of our knowledge and wisdom to
find solutions to these interdisciplinary energy/environmental problems. From such a viewpoint, the research targets of the laboratory are focused on two specific fields, (i) "advanced studies of science and technology on plasma energy and quantum energy" and (ii)
"innovative studies of nano-bio functional materials
for power generation". For this purpose, two sections
(A2 and A3 mentioned below) are founded. In addition,
A1 section promotes international or domestic collaborative research and assists activities such as academic
meetings and seminars. In the fiscal year of 2022, although the pandemic of COVID-19 still had a significant impact on the actual implementation of the collaborative activity, strong advancement of the collaboration was achieved.
Despite the difficulty in organizing the cooperative
research program, however, close connection between
related research fields in the institute have yielded
unique and interesting outcomes from the collaboration. The laboratory takes charge of organizing and
promoting the cooperative research project as a center
of research activity in the Institute. The research teams
were formed by mostly young generation staffs and
students in the institute lead by associate professor or
assistant professor, and participated in specific projects
to carry out their subjects. The cooperative research activities will be published in a publication edited in the
laboratory at the end of the fiscal year. Management of
the technical staffs for large scale equipment are also
under the responsibility of the laboratory.
A1 Division of International and Industrial Partnership
This division promotes international collaborative
research on advanced energy to lead the field of energy science and technology as a worldwide pioneer.
For this purpose, the symposium and the workshop
organized by institution member are supported. ...
