Message from the Dean

Department of Department of Applied Chemistry

Osamu Shimomura

The world is currently facing major crises such as environmental degradation and resource depletion. Overcoming these difficulties and paving the way for a "sustainable society" where everyone can live in peace and security—the most powerful key to achieving this lies in the "power of chemistry."

Chemistry is the study of freely combining atoms to create new materials that do not yet exist in the world. Our department has two main themes: "decarbonization (protecting the planet)" and "beauty and health (making people happy)," and we are challenging ourselves with cutting-edge research every day.

Over the four years here, especially during your graduation research which will be the culmination of your studies, we hope you will hone your "solid skills" through repeated experiments and cultivate your "problem-solving abilities" by utilizing the latest analytical equipment to derive your own answers to complex problems. Furthermore, we hope that through dialogue with diverse people and global experiences, you will gain "genuine confidence" that will enable you to thrive on the world stage.

Learning at university is not simply about accumulating knowledge. It's about repeatedly experimenting without fear of failure and being thrilled by the discovery of the unknown. This process is what builds the foundation for your career as a working adult and propels you towards becoming the person you want to be.

We will fully support everyone taking that first step. Let's experience together the joy of designing the future with chemistry.

FeatureFeatures

Chemistry is the foundation of all academic fields studied in the Faculty of Engineering. The Department of Applied Chemistry always has a perspective that connects chemistry with the real world, and provides an environment in which students can learn a wide range of subjects from basic to applied.
Throughout all years, we place emphasis on experiments, which are essential for chemical engineers, and provide students with the experience they need even after they enter society.

  1. Connecting with the real world
    Consists of six chemical fields

    The keyword that cuts across all areas is "green chemistry."
    As a university that specializes in "Yodogawa Studies," an academic field that focuses on the Yodo River, the main artery of Osaka's development, we aim to create products that are sustainable and environmentally friendly.
    [6 Chemistry Areas]

    • Synthetic Chemistry
    • Organic Functional Chemistry
    • Polymer Materials Chemistry
    • Inorganic Materials Chemistry
    • Molecular Recognition Chemistry
    • Material and Life Chemistry

  2. The questions that companies ask
    Developing the ability to "derive solutions"

    Anyone involved in chemistry is expected to have the ability to pose their own questions and honestly face the journey to derive an answer through experiments and observations.
    In this department, students begin conducting experiments at an early stage, acquiring the chemical engineering skills required across fields and the ability to work collaboratively with others.
    [The ability to acquire]

    • Chemical technology with a broad perspective including humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences
    • Environmentally friendly science and technology for the maintenance and development of a sustainable society
    • The ability to work with others to address social needs and issues based on the problem-solving skills acquired through chemistry experiments and exercises.

  3. Solving global issues from a chemical perspective

    With "green chemistry" as our keyword, we are engaged in cutting-edge research and development to create new energy and materials, as well as to further develop the fields of the environment, life, health, and food.

Feature Applied chemistry contributes to the engineering field and supports the future society
