Introducing Myself and My Research

📝

Hi, my name is Taro Tanaka, and I’m a second-year master’s student in the Department of Applied Chemistry.

📝

My research focuses on developing new materials for perovskite solar cells.

📝

To put it simply, these are next-generation solar panels that could be cheaper and more efficient than current ones.

📝

I aim to improve their stability, especially under heat and moisture.

📝

That’s one of the biggest issues preventing their large-scale use.

📝

I run experiments to test different protective layers and analyze their performance.

📝

What I enjoy about this work is that it connects chemistry with real-world problems like clean energy.

📝

It’s meaningful to think that our lab work could make a difference.

📝

Outside of research, I enjoy hiking and reading science fiction.

📝

Thanks for listening.

📝

I’m always happy to talk more if you’re interested in solar energy or materials science.
