Research on Digital Signage Proliferation
and City Brightness
Have you noticed that cities feel "brighter" at night in recent years? Verifying the hypothesis that the proliferation of digital signage makes surrounding illuminated signs even brighter. Through experiments using city block models, revealing the mechanism of brightness and conducting research that leads to creating livable cities with consideration for brightness.

Estimating CFRP Plate Delamination Probability
Safe Infrastructure Reinforcement Technology
CFRP plates (carbon fiber reinforced polymer) used when repairing steel bridges and reinforced concrete structures. While lightweight and reducing work burden, there are concerns about delamination. Research aiming to establish safe infrastructure maintenance technology by elucidating through computer simulation under what conditions and with what probability delamination occurs.

Elucidating Microwave Specific Effects
Toward Carbon Neutrality
How do microwaves used in microwave ovens transmit energy and generate heat? Through experiments using optical fibers and spectrometers, measuring changes in light refractive index and elucidating unique phenomena caused by microwaves. Research contributing to carbon neutrality realization through application to chemical processes not dependent on fossil fuels.
