Life, Environment and Applied Chemistry Life, Environment and Applied Chemistry
Be specialists in the fields of Environment/Energy, Materials Chemistry, Bio and Foods
Educational Features
In the graduate program of Life, Environment and Applied Chemistry, we offer advanced and specialized education and research in four distinct fields: 1. Materials Chemistry, 2.Environment/Energy, 3. Life Science, and 4. Foods. Specifically, in the Materials Chemistry field, we examine the structures and functionalities of novel inorganic materials and functional organic materials. In the Environment/Energy field, our focus is on environmental analysis techniques, solar cells, water treatment, and metal recycling technologies. The Life Science field explores stem cell biology, microbiology, and the effective utilization of biological functions. Lastly, in the Foods field, we provide specialized knowledge in food constituent analysis and the elucidation of food function. Students receive direct research instruction from a supervisor in one of these four fields and are required to compose a master's thesis.
