Education/Laboratory (NARUMI, Takayuki)

Laboratory Information and Policies

I belong to Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics Laboratory, Faculty of Engineering, Yamaguchi University, which is a part of the 13th course of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Our laboratory consists of two groups, one of which is led by me. Below is a summary of our group policies.

Common goals of our group

To understand universal features in complex phenomena from the viewpoint of statistical physics
- In particular, to understand the complexities that emerge when individual elements compete with each other

Guidance policy

I believe that research guidance is an important educational activity that directly affects the students' future. Therefore, I am involved in research guidance with strong enthusiasm while seeking effective educational methods according to the individuality of each student.

I do not believe that to provide the shortest path for students is the best research guidance. Rather, I hope to share the intellectual excitement of approaching the truth of nature by struggling together with students.

The kind of person we are aiming for

Person who have a deep knowledge of each research content

Person who can solve problems by identifying the essence of things from specialized knowledge

Person who can set appropriate short-term issues to achieve long-term goals and act on their own judgment

Person who can deal with problems in cooperation with a team

Capabilities to be acquired in our group

All members
- A universality-conscious view of the relationship between microscopic and macroscopic laws
- Attitude to keep challenging and learning
- Discussion skills
- Presentation skills

Depending on the research theme
- Programming skills
- Computing skills
- Physical theory (especially related to statistical physics)

Features of Research Guidance

Theme
- To be decided along the direction of the group, while respecting the interests of each student
- Students are welcome to bring their own research topics
- No prerequisite knowledge is required

Methods
- Simulation, numerical calculation, theoretical analysis

Activities
- Lab seminar: once a week (presentation once every 2-3 months)
- Group seminar: once a week (presentation of progress once every two weeks)
- Individual discussion
- Communication among students

Group rules

Participation in seminars and individual discussions
- This rule is designed to ensure that we as an educational institution evaluate and take responsibility for the growth of each student.

Observance of social manners
- This rule is designed for working as a group.

Core time
- Students should stay in the laboratory during the weekdays to maintain a balanced lifestyle.

Club activities, part-time jobs, etc.
- No restrictions as long as they do not interfere with research activities.

Group recreation (before COVID-19)
- We enjoy welcome, year-end, and farewell parties.

Annual schedule toward graduation thesis

Acceptance of students

Students of Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Yamaguchi University
- Students will be assigned to a laboratory when they advance to the fourth year, where they can select our laboratory.
- After being assigned to our laboratory, students will be asked to decide on their group through consultation with other students assigned to the laboratory.

Yamaguchi University students other than those in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering
- Please consult with me in advance

Students from except Yamaguchi University and working adults
- Feel free to contact me, I will positively consider accepting you.

Message to prevent mismatches

I do not recommend our group to students interested in applied research.
- I welcome students who are interested in fundamentally understanding complex phenomena.

I do not recommend our group to students who want to do experiments.
- I welcome students who are interested in theory and/or numerical simulation.

I do not recommend our group to students who want to do everything on their own.
- I welcome students who want to accomplish something with me and other lab members.
