Teaching and working methods
Teaching and working methods
The course consists of introductions to chemical and biological engineering research, laboratory presentations and visits, and hands-on research activities conducted in registered laboratories. Each student will be assigned to one of the host laboratories and participate in experiments and other research activities under the supervision of faculty members and researchers in the laboratory.
Laboratory Works/Activities
Laboratory Works/Activities
Participants have an opportunity for the hands-on laboratory to experience technologies they are taught in lectures. Pick up one laboratory from the suggested options. The activity is conducted in each group. There is scheduled a presentation session where the participants report their results of the hands-on activities on the final day of the program.
Selective from the following topics:
Membrane separation - water cleaning with a catalytic membrane reactor (Prof. Kumakiri lab)
Biosensors (Prof. Shiku lab)
Material chemistry with vacuum technologies (Prof. Matsumoto lab)
TBD (Prof. Kitakawa lab)
Visualization and simulation for material processing (Prof. Kubo lab)
