Advanced Materials Course Program
It is a top-priority task for humans to develop useful materials and technologies to solve problems
related to the global environment. Students in this course learn necessary basic and applied sciences
to take on this task and acquire knowledge and experimental techniques to develop materials to save
energy and protect the environment as well as eco-friendly synthesis processes.
Faculty Interview
Tomoya OhnoProfessor
◎Profile: Graduated from the Graduate School of Science and Technology at Shizuoka University, majoring in Materials Science. Primary research interests include ceramic materials, powder technology and rechargeable batteries.
No challenge, no success.
Take the first step forward,
believing in eventual success.
In the Advanced Materials Course Program, students acquire knowledge necessary for designing, generating and analyzing materials, which are the most basic element of excellent equipment and machinery indispensable for today’s convenient lifestyle and for providing an environment for a stable supply of large amounts of energy. There are still uncharted territories in materials development. One characteristic of this course is learning how to approach unresolved questions. Many students who have taken this course have secured jobs in the automobile, electronic machinery and other manufacturing sectors after graduation, supporting the development of Japan’s key industries. Faculty members work closely with students, who are encouraged to seek assistance and guidance from their professors. Tackling advanced research matters in an easygoing atmosphere is ideal. Make your time at KIT one of the most enjoyable periods of your life.
