The page for the Department of Applied Chemistry and Environment is currently under preparation.
The Department of Environmental Information Engineering consists of three taught subjects: the study of computer fundamentals and utilization of computers in engineering solutions (Computer Engineering), the study of comprehending, modeling, and solving environmental issues as they relate to engineering projects (Environmental Assessment Engineering) and the study of techniques for managing and conserving the environment (Environmental Conservation and Strategic Engineering). We aim to nurture a student body who, as a foundation, have systematic knowledge of the above three skills combined, and who can demonstrate professional research skills and advanced problem solving abilities.

Yasuko Maruo,
Professor, (2013-)
Professor Maruo received a Ph.D. from Tohoku University in 2003. She worked in Research Center of Japan Telegraph and Telephone Corp. from1986-2013.
Current research in her lab focuses on nano-technology and its application to CO2 photochemical conversion and simple analysis methods of chemical materials. Specifically, it covers the following 3 areas:
1. Co2 photoreduction catalyst including nanoparticles.
2. Simple and easy analysis methods of volatile organic compounds using a combination of nano-porous materials and chemical reaction.
3. Application of our developed analysis chips for environmental measurement and environmental evaluation.
