Information from Satoshi
Satoshi is a member within the Euro-MIC COST framework. This project is funded by the European Union and enables scientists to bridge knowledge and capabilities across countries and disciplines.
Summary of the experiences and competences of Satoshi
I am currently conducting research related to MIC at JAMSTEC, collaborating with researchers from various companies and universities. The research includes the following aspects:
-Exploration of novel corrosive microorganisms (for the development of diagnostic techniques).
-Dynamic analysis of microbial community structures during corrosion progression in real environmental conditions (for the development of diagnostic techniques).
-Elucidation of the corrosion mechanisms mediated by microorganisms (for the development of corrosion protection techniques).
Looking for help? Satoshi can help you with the following items
The institution I am affiliated with conducts comprehensive research on marine environments, and if project proposals are accepted, it may be possible to carry out research involving vessels in the coastal waters of Japan. For instance, if there is a need for a research facility dedicated to corrosion studies in deep-sea environments, we may be of assistance.
