■ 外国人教員の紹介
大学院総合科学技術研究科 工学専攻 機械工学コース Tripathi Saroj
In our laboratory, we are working on emission and detection of high
frequency electromagnetic waves know as terahertz (THz) waves and their
industrial and biomedical applications. Terahertz wave also known as T-
ray bridges the frontiers between the microwave and infrared regions of
electromagnetic spectrum. This range was also known as terahertz gap
until recently owing to the lack of efficient THz wave sources and
detectors. However, recent development of optoelectronics and laser
technology has enabled the efficient emission and ultrasensitive
detection of broadband THz waves. These waves have excellent
characteristics such as (a) sensitive to water (b) moderate
transmittance through various materials such as plastics, paper,
ceramics etc. and (c) various substances have unique absorption features
know as spectral fingerprint in THz frequency region. Because of such
characteristics, THz waves have widely been used in various applications
such as drug identification, cancer detection, moisture content
measurement, non-destructive testing and evaluation of industrial
products and ultra-high speed wireless data transfer. In our laboratory,
we are working on the following research topics:
1. Development of 3D terahertz wave computed tomography system :
Here, we are trying to develop a computationally efficient 3D THz wave
computed tomography system for the non-destructive testing and analysis
of industrial products such as ceramics and plastics. For further
details, please refer: S. R. Tripathi et al., Terahertz wave three-
dimensional computed tomography based on injection-seeded terahertz wave
parametric emitter and detector, Optics Express, vol. 24, pp. 6433-6440
(2016)

2. Investigation on THz wave interaction with human being:
Under this topic, we are investigating the role of human sweat ducts in
interaction of THz wave with human skin. Further details can be obtained
from: S. R. Tripathi et al., Morphology of human sweat ducts observed by
optical coherence tomography and their frequency of resonance in the
terahertz frequency region, Scientific Reports, vol. 5, No. 9071 (2015)
Fig. Optical coherence tomography of human skin showing sweat ducts.
3. Development of terahertz time domain spectroscopy :
We are developing THz wave time domain spectroscopic measurement system
(THz-TDS) in the different configuration for the characterization of
wide variety of materials in frequency range from 100 GHz to 3 THz. For
example: S. R. Tripathi et al., Measurement of chloride ion
concentration in concrete structures using terahertz time domain
spectroscopy (THz-TDS), Corrosion Science, vol. 62, pp. 5-10 (2012)

大学院総合科学技術研究科 工学専攻 電気電子工学コース Damon Chandler
Dr. Chandler’s research area is perceptual image and video processing.
His research focuses on studying how the human visual system interprets
images and video, and how to use the resulting models to improve
multimedia applications. He currently heads the Laboratory of
Computational Perception and Image Quality at Shizuoka University. His
lab studies a variety of topics on image/video processing, quality
assessment, and compression; as well as topics on visual psychophysics
and natural scene statistics.

大学院総合科学技術研究科 工学専攻 電子物質科学コース Daniel Moraru
I have joined the Department of Electronics and Materials Science
since January 2015 as an Associate Professor. I’m originally from
Romania and graduated from the Faculty of Physics in Al. I. Cuza
University, Iasi in 2003. I then joined Shizuoka University as a PhD
student in the Group of Prof. Michiharu Tabe (Research Institute of
Electronics). For many years even after my graduation, we continued to
work together on the topic of “silicon dopant-atom electronics”,
through which we hope to demonstrate atomic-level functionality for
future generations of electronics.
The high performance of our present-day computers is due to the fact
that, nowadays, electronics building blocks – transistors – can be made
in nanoscale (~10 nm). In the future, as an ultimate goal for low power
consumption and advanced functionality, we can foresee a world in which
the operation bits are triggered by single electrons stored in single
atoms: “single-electron single-atom electronics”. In this direction,
our group continues to contribute to the field of “silicon dopant-atom
electronics”. Recently, we focus on analyzing, designing, fabricating
and characterizing nanoscale silicon devices (transistors and diodes)
that prominently exhibit atomic- and molecular-level behavior.
As a core concept, a single dopant-atom (impurity atom) replacing a Si
atom in a nanostructure can work as a quantum dot with the ability to
capture and/or transport electrons one by one. This is labeled as a
single-dopant-atom transistor. Such a simple concept can have complex
and extended applications due to the possibility of coupling a small
number of dopant-atoms in a variety of ways. Ultimately, we aim at
outlining a field of research based on which atomic-level quantum-
mechanical operation can become the norm for next-generation electronics,
leading to an ultimately efficient use of the world’s energy resources.
Relying on Japan’s long and successful history in pushing the limits in
electronics, we will also strive in our own research to reach such
ultimate goals.

大学院総合科学技術研究科 工学専攻 化学バイオ工学コース Stefano Ferri
Photosynthetic microorganisms have great potential for the sustainable
production of biofuels and other valuable products. My research focuses
on using a synthetic biology approach to engineer such organisms to
increase bioprocess viability. For example, developing novel genetic
tools to improve the efficiency of the harvesting and product extraction
steps of a bioprocess, as well as methods to effectively regulate these
tools. These advances are expected to lead to a truly sustainable and
viable bioindustry based on photosynthetic microorganisms.

大学院総合科学技術研究科 工学専攻 数理システム工学コース Guo-jie Jason Gao
Granular materials are particulate systems such as sands and powders
that can be found almost everywhere in our daily life. Except liquids,
granular materials are the second-most manipulated media in industry.
Since the grains are large, thermal fluctuations cannot induce grain
rearrangements, and these systems cannot be described by equilibrium
thermal dynamics. Without external excitations, granular materials
remain static. However, sufficiently large external driving forces can
lead to grain rearrangements and fluctuations in physical quantities
including stress and pressure, as in systems in thermal equilibrium.
Our group develops molecular dynamics (MD) and Monte Carlo (MC)
algorithms to understand the behavior of dry (ignoring the interaction
between a grain and its surrounding gas or liquid) granular materials
under various conditions. MD is a computer simulation method for tracing
the physical movements of N particles by solving the Newton’s laws of
motion (F = ma) between any two particles, interacting via a predefined
interparticle potential. On the other hand, movements of particles in
MC simulation are governed by a given probability function and therefore
are indeterministic.
Implementing the above numerical approaches, we tackle several
interesting scientific problems in engineering and biology with
significant industrial impacts: (a) analyzing the hopper flow through a
nozzle dispensing metallic powder in a 3D printer, which makes solid
objects of virtually any shape, and (b) clarifying the chaining behavior
observed in the initial phase of invagination process in a fruit fly
embryo.

■ 学生サークル活動
アカペラサークル「Aal-Lied」
丸木崇雅
私たち「Aal-Lied」は声だけで曲を奏でるアカペラをサークルで活動しており
ます。ゴスペラーズをはじめとした著名人やハモネプというテレビ番組による影響

アカペラサークルで様々なイベントが催されています。
私たちはそれぞれでグループを結成し、各地で開かれるイベントに出演し、
アカペラの楽しさを感じ、交流しています。その他にもアカペラを知らない人たち
に向けて演奏することもあります。
サークル活動としては、全体での練習を週に2回行う他、月に1度総会を開き、
以前までの活動の反省、今後のイベントの企画やサークル幹部の話し合いの報告
を行っています。
Aal-Liedは毎年9月に全国からアカペラグループを募集し、浜松駅前で演奏を
披露するライブ「うなぎうた」を主催しており、Aal-Liedからも数グループ出演
しております。
ご興味のある方はぜひお越しいただけると嬉しく思います。
アカペラや歌が好きな方は気軽にAal-Liedへ足を運んでください。
また、応援のほどよろしくお願いします。
