Research Themes
The research and development of pulse power technologies to generate plasma
Discharge plasma, high-voltage engineering, electronic devices, and energy conversion greatly contribute to the development of a ubiquitous society and an environmentally-friendly society. New fields of application, such as medicine, bio, agriculture, and environmental conservation have been opening up in recent years. We research power source technologies to generate plasma that is suitable for these applications (pulse power), as well as applications in the fields of environmental conservation, agriculture and food, and materials. We also strive to educate on energy environments linked to elementary schools and science museums to cultivate those who will be regional and global leaders in the future.

Teaching Philosophy
I aim to teach students the fundamental concepts of electricity and energy and to proactively make use of this knowledge in industrial applications with a foundation in high voltage, discharge, and plasma engineering, so that they can contribute to the development of a sustainable society, industry, agriculture, and other fields.
