Educational background
Ph.D. (Physics), Okayama University
Key words for education
Physics, Physics experiments, Scientific literacy
Sample courses
Basic Physics Laboratory
Features of my courses
In Basic Physics Laboratory, students learn how to measure basic physical quantities such as length and time, how to use measuring equipment such as an oscilloscope, and how to process data and handle errors. Students are encouraged to develop a scientific way of thinking by learning to quantify familiar phenomena such as sound, light, and gravitational acceleration.
Key words for research
Magnetism, magnetic resonance, chaos, pattern formation, science education

What I like about Discovery
The Global Discovery Program’s greatest asset is its diverse student body and staff faculty. As a direct result of this diversity, students are able to explore various research methods and ways of analyzing. For example, some fields, may emphasize the existence of a simple law common to all things, while others may suggest an inherent hierarchical structure with different principles governing each layer. Still others might recognize the existence of diversity as an underlying premise while attempting to compare similarities and differences. The Discovery Program offers students the opportunity to experience a “melting pot” of these various worldviews and educational approaches.
