I chose the field called machine materials, and have continued to study keeping in mind my goal of strengthening aluminum.<br \/>\n In the future I would like to work in the machine designing field, making a machine from scratch. I want to create something better with my own hands.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"area_message_t area_message_dept-6\">\n<div class=\"message_photo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/www.st.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/faculty\/data\/photo_dept-5-t2019.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"180\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"message_text\">\n<p class=\"p_MT_advice\">Advice<\/p>\n<p class=\"p_MT1\">Discovering a phenomenon that is not yet known to the world knows is not a dream.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p_MT2\">Associate Professor MINETA, Takahiro<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>In this department, you can study both machine engineering and medical engineering. In addition to basic physics and mathematics, which are essential for all engineers, training for hands-on engineering is taught through bother, classroom lectures and experiments. Here, you can develop thinking ability, ingenuity, and creativity.<br \/>\n After being assigned to a laboratory, students work on research activities with originality and ingenuity, seeking to reach a phenomenon that no one in the world yet knows.<br \/>\n Research opens up a world that no one has ever concquered. I hope the students who participate in such research take pride in being among the first people of a field.<br \/>\nIn addition, we strive to provide a place to study where students can comprehensively learn both, the basics and applicable knowledge, and cultivate the ability to overcome hurdles on their own.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2>Staff List<\/h2>\n<table class=\"table_grad grad-6\">\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"add_bg1\">\n<th style=\"width: 10em\">Name<\/th>\n<th style=\"width: 5em;\">Position<\/th>\n<th style=\"width: 14em;\">Specialty<\/th>\n<th>Research Content<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"add_bg_dept-6\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hue2.jm.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/html\/200000531_en.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">OKA, Kazuhiko<\/a><\/th>\n<td>Professor<\/td>\n<td>Measurement optics<\/td>\n<td> Study of devices and methods to measure and control biological samples and microscopic targets, etc., by taking advantage of the characteristics of optical waves<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"add_bg_dept-6\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hue2.jm.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/html\/605_en.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SAGAWA, Koichi<\/a><\/th>\n<td>Professor<\/td>\n<td>Medical and biological engineering<\/td>\n<td> Fall down prediction and evaluation of athletic ability using a novel, independently developed wearable sensor.
