Nurturing Young Leaders for the Future Generation

We foster the promising young researchers actively for the next generation. At GREEN, young leaders themselves were assigned the responsibility of group leaders. Each floor of NanoGREEN building, scheduled for completion in 2012, (Namiki site), has an open space available stimulate interactions between researchers of a variety of backgrounds under one roof.

Takuya Masuda, a NIMS special researcher, who was selected by PRESTO (Precursory Research for Embryonic Science and Technology), Japan Science and Technology Agency　(JST) in FY 2012. He is the forth in GREEN, followed Hidenori Noguchi, Masatoshi Yanagida and Prof. Katsuyoshi Ikeda (Associate Professor, Hokkaido University) to receiving PRESTO funding

Corporate researchers can obtain a doctoral degree at GREEN from partner universities can acquire necessary skills of working in the industry through their experience at NIMS.

Takuya Masuda GREEN Leader, Nanostructured Electrocatalyst Group

GREEN provides us with a research environment where all the scientists can settle down to study towards the Solution of Environment and Energy Problems. I am challenging to develop new efficient electrocatalysts for energy conversion systems based on the fundamental understanding of various interfacial processes.
