Strategic Objective
Construction of revolutional material development methods through fusion among experiments and theory/data science
Research Supervisor

Overview
This research area merges theory, computation, and data science with the experimental sciences, which has been the basis of substance and material development undertaken so far, with the aim of building methods for revolutional material development. Specifically, this research area focuses on the realization of materials or functions that have great societal need but has not yet been achieved, through new research teaming and techniques, thus demonstrating a new integrative approach of Japanese materials research, which has been leading the world so far. This research area not only covers materials science but also involves a complex system, which is essential for the development of real materials.
The system comprises theoretical, computational, and data researchers centered on an experimental materials science system to promote research in close collaboration with them.
This research area offers revolutional and novel methods for materials development to promote industrial competitiveness in our country.
