Tech Leaders

Tech Leaders are students who complete four specificeducational programs. They are able to demonstrateleadership built on a solid grounding in the fundamental
knowledge and skills of their specialization. Required toacquire the ability to lead various projects to success,these students are interculturally sophisticated engineers
who have:• Expertise• Leadership Experience• Second Language Fluency• Cultural Identity

Agora is a Greek word meaning “gathering place.” We have named our uniqueinterdisciplinary activity space KYOTO AGORA. Faculty members fromvarious research fields gather here for face-to-face discussion. Through theactivities of KYOTO AGORA, we are promoting faculty exchange and collaboration, to create numerous innovations that no single researcher could
achieve on their own, and to implement these innovations in society.
In order to effectively address global challenges such as the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) and achieve a sustainable society, we must depart fromconventional approaches where different fields operate in isolation. It is imperative to integrate cultural and ethical considerations into technological development
processes. This necessitates interdisciplinary collaboration among researchers,
spanning not only their own fields or the natural sciences, but also those of thehumanities and social sciences. However, in recent years, the research landscapehas become increasingly fragmented and it is difficult to know about the work conducted in other university departments or even other labs in the same department. In
this environment, generating global innovations is unlikely.
In light of this, starting from 2021, KIT has brought together faculty members fromdiverse research fields within the university (biotechnology, materials, electronics,
machinery, information, design, architecture, textiles, humanities, social sciences,and more) to hold discussions that transcend disciplinary frameworks, and has
established a platform for backcasting from a possible future to think about what weshould do now. This is KYOTO AGORA.
Through KYOTO AGORA activities, we are offering fresh perspectives through interdisciplinary collaboration, driving innovative research, and fostering societal transformation. Each faculty group is actively engaged in conceptualizing the design of afuture society, focusing on the thematic areas listed at left.
In this way, KIT has a designated space to confront complex problems with diverse
groups of researchers, resolving issues in an interdisciplinary and collaborative
manner with an eye to the benefits to society. At KYOTO AGORA, we will continue
to integrate research and implement social change beyond the limits of disciplinary
frameworks.

My Time at KIT

Kyoto is a very livable city because it is calmand peaceful compared to other big cities, easy
to move around in and a leader in traditional
Japanese culture. Residents enjoy all four seasons in Kyoto. Cherry blossoms in the spring andautumn leaves are some favorite highlights. I am
looking forward to continuing my life in Kyoto
and at KIT.

My Research

It is such an honor to be able to pursue mymaster’s degree at KIT ’s Biofunctional Chemistrylaboratory thanks to a MEXT scholarship. As
antibiotic resistance is on the rise, KIT07, a bacteriophage, is being developed as an alternative
antibacterial therapy. Proteomics has become
an important tool for the study of complex
biochemical processes, the discovery of new
proteins and the investigation of protein-protein
interaction. Thus, this research will focus on theanalysis of some of KIT07 ’s main proteins.

to mitigate that difficulty.
My Time at KIT

I fell in love with Japanese language and culture at a young age. I often dreamed of one day
studying or working here, but the distance frommy home country made it feel like a pipe dream.
Thanks to KIT, my dream has become a reality.
Life in Kyoto, full of many traditional Japanesesites and experiences at my doorstep, is truly

Because there is no undergraduate program that feeds directly into Advanced
Fibro-science, students come from a wide range of disciplines and are able totailor textile science and engineering approaches to their research interests.
Students design information media and products; quantify target-consumer

apply data analysis techniques to textile heritage preservation, and analyze
the knowledge inherent in traditional techniques such as braiding and weaving.

are offered at several levels of Japanese
language proficiency: beginner,intermediate, and advanced. There arealso classes for those who are learning
Japanese for the first time. There
are two levels of classes for thosemoving from the beginner level to theintermediate level. The intermediatelevel classes are designed to develop
the four skills. The purpose of theadvanced classes is to acquire academic
level Japanese.

Our lab uses melt electrowriting to 3D print
fibrous scaffolds that are used in tissue engineering and medical research. I am pushing thelimits of the technique to enable faster printingof even finer structures on a larger scale while
also expanding its capabilities to print morechallenging materials. One way to do this is to
add deflecting electrodes to pattern the printed
fibers, which is what I am currently investigating.

had great memories of my time at this university, of Kyoto city and of the KIT laboratory where I spent five months. When I started to search for a PhD opportunity
in textile material sciences, I was given the chance to come back to this KIT textile
engineering laboratory that I knew to be serious and well equipped. In the cooperative atmosphere of this lab, I receive guidance and support from my supervisingprofessor and peers as I strive to develop an air cooling garment for construction
workers that uses the Peltier Effect.

What is your favorite place on campus?
—

The campus has many useful facilities: a free gym, a large and quiet library, andcomfortable working spaces, but the one I, as most students, spend the mosttime in is by far, the cafeteria. Many people take the cafeteria for granted, but for
low-income students living far from campus, having a quality and cheap campus
cafeteria is a very important advantage. KIT has three different cafeterias withvery affordable prices and high food quality.
