ABOUT US
In our laboratory, we are trying to develop new technologies for controlling (1) transport phenomena, from microfluids to high-speed fluids including dispersions/dispersed phases, and (2) individual and group cell behaviors, with the aim of quickly resolving global environmental and energy issues, as well as advancing medical technology.

Research projects
  • Development of combined surface wettability technology for drag reduction, heat transfer enhancement, and reaction acceleration
  • Development of friction drag reduction technology using air-filled hydrophobic surfaces
  • Development of microplastic trapping and transport technologies
  • Investigation on microplastic particle behavior in plant vessels
  • Design and construction of self-propelled microparticles
  • Understanding and application of dynamic order in cellular systems
  • Development of technologies for controlling cell migration
