Welcome

• I work on fundamentals of plastic deformation and process-tribology of materials, and their applications to materials processing processes.
• I propose novel plastic working processes with net-shape and net-property on the basis of theory, experiment and numerical simulation.
• I aim to contribute to "manufacturing techonology" through our education and research activities in university.
• Research subjects (our laboratory page)
