Vision
Creating a future with no bounds using expertise in chemistry
with the latest technology
The study of chemistry is for clarifying the laws of material conversion, for synthesizing unknown compounds, and for clarifying the mechanisms of manifestations of physical properties. In the Department of Chemical Science and Engineering, our aim is to deeply understand the basic properties and the responsiveness of substances at an atomic and molecular level, and to study the most advanced chemical technology systems. In the curriculum, study and education goals are set in order to develop individuals who are capable of pioneer chemical technologies that are essential for sustaining a rich society. Our aim is to produce scientists, engineers, and researchers who can take responsibility for society and the environment in the 21st century, and expert professionals who open new industries and civilizations.
Message from the Department Chair
Our research and education span multiple scales, from atomistic interactions to material development, chemical industrialization, and environmental monitoring. Rather than using conventional classifications, we approach chemistry through a cross-material framework of synthesis, analysis, and application to foster a diverse perspective on materials and society. We inspire our students to enhance their creativity through hands-on practice, shaping them into chemical scientists and engineers who will build a sustainable future.
