Academic Degree
Doctor of Engineering
Field of Specialization
Nuclear Physics and Nuclear Data
Outline Activities
I am working in the research field related to high-energy nuclear data which are needed for various accelerator-related applications, such as accelerator-driven transmutation systems, advanced cancer therapy with particle beams, space development, etc.: measurements of cross section data and their theoretcial analysis based on advanced nuclear reaction models. Also, I am doing research and development of a new type of accelerator-driven neutron source in the MeV region using Kyushu university tandem acclerator and studying cosmic-ray neutron induced soft error phenomena in semiconductor devices. My resposibility for eduaction is to teach and supervise students not only in the graduate course of the department of advanced energy engineering science but also in the undergraduate cources of the department of energy science and technology. As my social activities, I join some working groups in the Japanese Nuclear Data Committee, and teach the knowledge and topics on radiation to junior high and senior high school students in cooperation with the Japan Atomic Energy Relations Organization.

Research Interests
Membership in Academic Society
- Study on cosmic-ray induced soft error phenomena in semiconductor devices
keyword : semiconductor devices, cosmic-rays, neutron, proton, soft errors, nuclear reactions, simulation
2008.04"Study of cosmic-ray neutron or proton induced soft error phenomena in semiconductor devices", this study is devoted to understanding of cosmic-ray induced soft errors phenomena in microelectronics devices and establishing a method of estimating soft error rates. We are developing a Monte Carlo simulation code to study the initial processes (generation of secondary ions from nucleon-induced reactions on Si and charge deposit, etc) in the physical mechanism of soft errors.. - Reduction and Resource Recycle of High Level Radioactive Wastes with Nuclear Transmutation; study of fast neutron induced spallation reactions
