Graduate Student Recruitment
The Shirai Research Group is recruiting Master's Program, Doctoral Program, and Doctoral Program for Working Professionals students. All are welcome.
Master's Program
You can engage hands-on in experiments on materials fabrication using unique reaction fields such as microwaves and mechanochemistry, and actively take on conference presentations and paper publications.Doctoral Program
Students pursue their own research themes and develop the ability to become independent researchers through presentations at international conferences and writing papers.Doctoral Program for Working Professionals
We welcome working professionals from companies and public institutions who wish to earn a doctoral degree. We will work with you to develop a research plan based on challenges in your work and your past research and development results.Lab visits and consultations about graduate study are welcome at any time. Please feel free to contact us by email.
