| Welcome！ |
Bio-thermal engineering is in Bioengineering Cources of the Graduate School
of Systems Life Sciences in Kyushu University. The laboratory has been
directed by Associate Professor Naoto Kakuta since 2006 and is located
in Hakozaki Campus of Kyushu University at Fukuoka, Japan.
Research projects focus on the measurement of heat and mass transfer at
the microscopic scale in biological systems using optical and electrical
methods. Particularly, heat production of cells and water transport through
cell membrane are investigated by using near-infrared spectroscopy.
| RESEARCH |
■ Temperature imaging of submillimeter-thick aqueous solution using near-infrared spectroscopy
■ Temperature dependence of infrared absorption spectrum of thin-film water
■ Applications of corona discharge at the tip of micropipette electrode
■ Cellular measurement using micropipette electrodes

| EDUCATION |
Students who belong to Graduate School of Systems Life Sciences can participate in lectures about bio-thermal engineering: 'Basic Biological Transport Phenomena' and 'Biological Thermal Engineering, Advanced Course'.
Undergraduate students who belong to Department of Energy Science and Engineering, School of Engineering can conduct graduation studies in the laboratory because Ass. Prof. Kakuta is also in charge of the department.
