Professor Kenichi Ishikawa and Project Research Associate Dr. Takeshi Sato give lectures in and outside of the University of Tokyo mainly for students and young researchers to help them understand quantum mechanics simulation of light and electron, ion beams for cancer radiation therapy.

A message from Professor Kenichi L. Ishikawa for prospective students and researchers.

Our history and environment that made us one of the world-leading groups in the theory of femtosecond-laser interaction with atoms and molecules, strong-field phenomena, high-harmonic generation, and attosecond laser science.　　　

Two pillars in our research – “Attosecond science” to theoretically study on an interaction of laser pulses with matters happening in an extremely short period of time.

We conduct theoretical study related to light, laser, radiation, and ion beams. Now, we are one of the world-leading groups in ab-initio simulations of femtosecond-laser interaction with atoms and molecules, strong-field phenomena, high-harmonic generation, and attosecond laser science. We welcome enthusiastic members to strive for cutting-edge research together!

Have you ever heard of any of these?
“Attosecond science”, “high-field phenomena”, “time-dependent multi-electron theory”, “quantum chemistry”, “large scale electronic structure theory”, “density functional theory (DFT)”. If “yes”, bring a pencil and paper, or some computer skills to pioneer new areas of physics that surprise the world with us!

Why do you research? What fascinates you? This is an article from the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Management.
