Department of Industrial Chemistry Graduate School of Engineering

The department of industrial chemistry involves training and research centering on environmental energy chemistry and organic material chemistry. In addition to combining organic material, inorganic material, polymers, ceramics and other materials, this course involves applying these compounds to fields that require state-of- the-art materials, such as the fields of bio-functionality and medicine, the environment and electronic information. Concentrating on department of industrial chemistry, the Graduate School of Engineering established the Nano Science Research Center as an academic frontier promotion project with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in 2001, which provided us with a well-equipped research environment. The research and seminars that this center provides enables us to nurture students by teaching them to come up with fresh ideas and be creative, and by instilling them with flexible thought processes and high levels of specialist knowledge. We have actively adopted research into molecular design and material design using computers in line with the advances that computer science is achieving recently.
