Welcome

  Ishiyama's laboratory is a small one with one faculty member and several students located in the Northern Tohoku region of Japan.

Their laboratory's mission is to address the issue of effective energy utilization.

Their laboratory researches power generation and conversion technologies with the key-words "energy" and "simulation".

  In the field of power generation technology, they study renewable energy sources, such as solar power and thermoelectric power generation using waste heat. In the field of power conversion technology, they study power circuits using DC/DC converters based on experimental results.

Challenge yourself to be the first in the world to see a phenomenon that no one has ever seen before.

Do you remember the wonder when you first saw Saturn through a telescope? Some person may remember the surprise when that they observed a crystal or cell under the microscope.  Science and technology still have the excitement which you felt as a child when you looked through a telescope or microscope for the first time.

In our research, we sometimes experience "being the first in the world to observe a phenomenon that no one has ever seen before."  Of course, it is not an easy task to be the first to observe a new phenomenon. It seems to be said "Good luck comes to a well-prepared lab." It is also necessary for students to prepare by studying theory and learning experimental techniques. I think observing new phenomena is also worth the challenge for students who are considering a lab assignment. Challenge yourself to be the first in the world to see a phenomenon that no one has ever seen before.

Power Generation Technology

We are researching technologies for the use of renewable energy, such as optimization of power generation using solar panels combined three-dimensionally, thermoelectric power generation using waste heat, and environmental power generation based on familiar energy sources. We also study nuclear reactor accident analysis based on simulations.

Power Conversion Technology

　We are researching the evaluation of output characteristics of power supplies using DC/DC converters and optimization of the semiconductor device parameters that make up the circuit for higher efficiency. In addition, we are also studying energy-saving technologies based on simulations of data centers, which have been continuously being expanded in recent years.

Blog

We have started a lab blog in Japanese.
