Message to the prospective students

The Recent work of our laboratory is focused on electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices, including lithium ion batteries, post lithium-ion batteries, proton exchange membrane fuel cells, and water electrolysis. We aim at the development of state-of-the-art techniques of analysis of battery in situ by using large-scale equipment, such as synchrotron radiation beam facilities, to be utilized in the enhancement of the performance of the existing lithium-ion batteries as well as the development of post lithium-ion batteries, proton exchange membrane fuel cells, and water electrolysis.

The entrance exams for mater course as well as for doctor course are open to the world. As to the doctor course, when they pass the exam, they are generally assigned to go to the laboratory they want, because, as you know, doctor course work is much more specialized than master course. We can accept any master course and doctor course students so far they pass the entrance examination. In 2018, our Laboratory have 8 foreign exchange students. There are several scholarships; the largest one would be “Monbukagakusho scholarships” and JSPS. Many of the doctor course or master course students works as research assistant (RA) at our laboratory of the supervisor. However, the total of the RA payment would not exceed about JPY1000,000 / year due to several restrictions.
