Achievements:
Dr. Chika Takai-Yamashita is committed to research that explores how common silica can reveal new properties when its structure is controlled. For instance, she has found that depositing silica nanoparticles exclusively on the edges of cubic structures reveals distinctive functionalities. To fully extract the charm of these particles, she believes that it is necessary to establish the relationship between structure and the function. She actively incorporates various techniques, such as the development of structural assessment technologies and the introduction of machine learning, to contribute to the understanding of unexplored phenomena, leading to productive and insightful research. Her research activities encompass a wide range of fields, including The Society of Powder Technology, Japan, The Ceramics Society of Japan, The Cellulose Society of Japan, and The Entomological Society of Japan, thereby expanding the horizons of powder engineering and contributing to its further development. Furthermore, she is also passionately committed to student education and have been honored with the "2nd Women Shaping the Future of Engineering Award" as a promising female researcher. She also serves as members of crucial committees within their affiliated societies and related associations, contributing to the effective operation of these organizations. As a central figure expected to make significant contributions to the further advancement of powder technology field and the development of talent in the same field, we have great expectations for her future endeavors.
