Biography
Takashi Tokumasu is a professor of Institute of Fluid Science, Tohoku University. He has his expertise in analyzing nanoscale flow phenomena. Especially, he is focusing on the effect of quantum characteristics of molecules on macroscopic flow and thermodynamic phenomena. Moreover, he applies this technique and knowledge to the development of materials for next generation fuel cells. He performs large scale molecular dynamics simulations to analyze such nanoscale flow phenomena. He developed a molecular model which can treat proton hopping by classical molecular dynamics method (Mabuchi, Fukushima and Tokumasu, 2015). By using this model the relation between nanoscale structures of material and nanoscale flow phenomena of reactant and product materials can be analyzed. He also analyzes the transport mechanism of ions in solid materials.
