About Us
Our research focuses on metal-based crystalline materials. We aim to systematize materials design methods for advanced control of material properties that emerge from static and dynamic changes in atomic arrangements and microstructures. Through this approach, we pursue the development of new materials and the proposal of innovative processing techniques. In addition, we strive to accurately identify challenges and needs in clinical settings and work toward creating metal-based medical devices that provide functions tailored to those needs.
