Interface Electrochemistry (IEC) Group
Research Center for Energy and
Environmental Materials (GREEN),
National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS)

Tateyama Lab has explored break-through of theoretical/computational/data-driven science on energy materials and nano materials, related to battery, fuel cell, solar cell, catalysis, as well as contribution to development of novel materials. Electrochemistry, interface science, and ionics as well as quantum mechanics and statistical physics will be the main fields as well. To develop new theory/method/concept for those targets and predict new materials, we need to be very careful to keep the accuracy and predictability.  To this end, “eagerness”, “patience”, “objectivity”, “flexibility”, and “cooperativeness” will be essential. We would like to have people with such motivations in our lab. I’m really sure that people will be more than excited when they find new science and materials for the first time in the world. In fact, our lab has know-how for such ambitious purpose.

Experience of first-principles, quantum-chemistry, molecular dynamics calculations as well as machine learning research will be highly desirable, while they won’t be mandatory requirements. We’re also ready for collaborations with industries to understand the microscopic mechanisms or explore the new materials/systems.

If you’re interested in our lab, please feel free to ask Prof. Dr. Yoshitaka Tateyama ( tateyama.y.aa/at/m.titech.ac.jp ( /at/ should be replaced by @ )).
