[Measurement and Analysis Foundation]Establishing the Solid Foundation for Innovative Measurement and Analysis Process
Research Supervisor
Isao TanakaProfessor, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Kyoto University
Strategic Objective
Innovation in measurement and analysis processes aimed at solving social issues
Overview
In this research area, we aim to conduct world-class research by pioneering knowledge extraction technology based on the latest information science, as well as deepening experiments and computer simulations that lead to innovative measurement technology. There are many examples of new measurement and analysis that have triggered dramatic developments in science and technology and have had a major impact on society.
The development of science and technology requires continuous innovation in measurement and analysis processes. To make this possible, it is essential to build a solid base technology.
If we can achieve this, it will be a major advantage in Japan's research environment for the next 10 to 20 years, and it is expected to lead to the realization of 2050 carbon neutrality and the resolution of global social issues such as the SDGs.
The research area in CREST has already been set under the strategic goal of FY2022, "Innovation in measurement and analysis processes aimed at solving social issues," and research activities have been underway to solve various difficult real-world problems using measurement and analysis technology. In the research area in PRESTO, we aim at basic research, which is the preliminary stage, especially as (1) Deepening and innovation of measurement principles and methods ("seeing") and (2) Creation of innovative knowledge extraction technology through data analysis using informatics (“noticing” and “understanding”). And in collaboration with the research area in CREST, we aim to form a foundation for a series of research and development processes of "seeing", "noticing" and "understanding". Furthermore, in the forum for cross-disciplinary exchange, we will promote the development of research personnel who will be responsible for future measurement and analysis technology.
