• Our institute creates innovative materials—spanning inorganic, metallic, organic, and biomaterials—that deliver unprecedented functions and performance. We are a collective that covers the full spectrum, from establishing new academic frameworks that drive paradigm shifts in materials science to implementing these advances in society through practical deployment.

    Our commitment to both academic excellence and industrial relevance is evidenced by the following achievements of our current faculty members:
    • Commendations from the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology: 9 recipients
    • Principal Investigators of JSPS programs (Specially Promoted Research, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (S), and (A)): 6 faculty members
    • Leaders of large-scale social implementation programs: 1 faculty members
