Email
: tm28@njit.edu
Research Advisor :
Dr.
Lev N. Krasponerov
Academic Background :
B.S. in Polymer Science
(Japan)
M.S. in Polymer Science (Japan) and Materials Engineering (USA)
Currently Pursuing Phd in Materials Science and Engineering
Work Experience : 4
years working in Japan as an engineer for optical
coating films used in liquid crystal display
Research Interest:
Nanomaterials and NanoTechnology.
Current Research Work :
Currently He is
working on the characterization of
nanoparticles
formed by the random expansion of supercritical solutions as
well as end product characterization using
light scattering techniques.
In the above experiment Takuya is
calibrating the an optical setup to
observe particle ICCD images.
For conducting his experiments he is
using a laser scattering and monitoring system including an excimer laser
, ICCD Camera , optical instruments, computers, a pulse generator.
the instrument communication with GPIB and RS 232. An home-made RESS generation
apparatus is utilized in the particle production.
