Lecture by Dr. Omar

Dr. Omar gave a lecture on high-throughput analysis of powder XRD data. In materials development research, a tremendous amount of data is handled, and it is important to accelerate the speed of analysis for high-precision analysis. Since he arrived at Shinshu University, he has constructed a high-speed analysis system for spinel lithium manganate. The analysis of the 400 compounds synthesized by Mr. Narumi in six months took only a fraction of a second. I believe that expanding the scope of material exploration will enable us to design materials with combinations of elements that have never existed before.

Research introduction by Ms. Kawabe, M2. She did her best in English.
Lecture by Prof. Mukaida
Every Tuesday in the second period, Prof. Mukaida offers a lecture on the fundamentals of data engineering. The lecture is composed of statistics in the beginning and gradually moves on to machine learning. All 15 lectures are given face to face, incorporating elements of exercises. After all, researchers need to work with their hands.

1st Z-Seminor
April 25, 2022
We invited Prof. Tomohito Sudare of the Institute of Advanced Materials, our university, as a guest to give a lecture.
「On-target anion separation in layered double hydroxides: the critical role of charge distribution and water」
We planned a symposium
The 102nd Annual Meeting of the Chemical Society of Japan (2022) CIP Planning: March 24, 2022
We planned "Extension of Materials Informatics to Surface / Interface Systems".
Materials informatics has expanded the search scope of material design guidelines. High-throughput technologies for synthesis and theoretical calculations are also advancing. The use of informatics will significantly change the timeline of conventional material development and design research. Through active research and development, many successful examples such as the creation of new materials with excellent bulk physical characteristics have come to be seen. The performance of energy transformation and catalytic reaction required for decarbonization and resource recycling is determined by the surface and interface, and expectations for materials informatics for the purpose of achieving high functionality of the surface and interface are increasing. In this session, we will focus on trends that go beyond the limits of conventional materials informatics and lead to a renewal to materials informatics 2.0. We look forward to your participation.
2021 graduation ceremony
March 23, 2022
Three second-year master's students (Adachi, Uchimura, Kondo) and six fourth-year undergraduate students (Amano, Kang, Kitada, Kubo, Nakata, Nishimura) have obtained a master's degree (engineering) or a bachelor's degree (engineering). bottom. Congratulations on your completion and graduation! !! !! !! !! !! You all did your best.
They have produced a lot of research results despite the restrictions caused by COVID-19. Based on their achievements, we have obtained large-scale joint research funds with JST-CREST, NEDO, and private companies. Using these results as a source of funds, we will thoroughly identify basic research on battery material technology academically.
Mr. Adachi, Mr. Uchimura, Mr. Kondo, and Mr. Kitada will be caught in the rough seas of society from now on, but there is nothing to fear. If you demonstrate the basic academic ability and the ability to apply it that you have acquired at Shinshu University, you have nothing to be afraid of!
I managed to avoid crying this year (laughs)
