In order to realize Energy mix by 2030 and Carbon neutrality by 2050, it is necessary to develop innovative energy and power sources. In our group, we aim to realize carbon-neutral energy sources using smart fluids.
If you’re interested in engineering, programming, and using a supercomputer, let’s join our researches!

Plasma, also known as the fourth state of matter, is a high-temperature gas in which the atoms and molecules that make up the gas are divided into ions and electrons. It is one of the smart fluids (functional fluids) that have the properties of charged particles such as ions and electrons, and at the same time have the properties of fluids. Our group aims to realize nuclear fusion power generation, which is the ultimate carbon-neutral energy source, and to conduct research to realize a low-carbon society by utilizing plasma as a smart fluid.
Development of carbon-neutral energy sources using plasma
Our research topics are followings:
- Magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium and instability of plasmas for realization of nuclear fusion power generation
- Visualization of turbulent flows and fluid control using plasmas
- Plasma production for seed-free MHD power generation
- Plasma-assisted combustion
- Development of imaging measurement method based on sparse modeling and collaboration between medicine and science
- Simulation experiments of space plasma environment using fusion plasma experimental devices
