Endowed Research Divisions
Endowed Research Divisions
Endowed Research Divisions are established to facilitate and enhance research and education at Tohoku University through contributions from businesses and other organisations. Currently, the Nanomaterials Process Data Science Endowed Research Division has been established at FRIS.
Nanomaterials Process Data Science Endowed Research Division
This research division will conduct an interdisciplinary foundational research to develop a new academic field, "materials processing data science," that combines data science and materials process engineering. Specifically, the division will create a materials process database that links process data and material structure data for particle synthesis, targeting the nanoparticle synthesis process. Next, the process characteristic factors that determine specific material structures and even material functions are extracted from the database using data science. Ultimately, the division will construct "materials process informatics" to rapidly guide the design of synthesis processes for new high-performance nanomaterials and contribute to creating new industries. (Duration: Jan. 2024 – Dec. 2026)
