At the Matsumoto Laboratory, we are engaged in the development of innovative green chemical processes and systems, as well as in designing and constructing methodologies for process and product synthesis, with consideration for efficiency, economic feasibility, and environmental impact.

Our research covers a wide range of process systems aimed at achieving both a Clean Earth and a Cool Earth. These include nitrogen circulation process systems, modular plants for the high-efficiency production of chemical products, and systems for the production and utilization of hydrogen carriers for renewable energy transportation, storage, and use. Many of these process systems exhibit complex spatiotemporal behavior due to nonlinear interactions involving molecular reactions, transport phenomena, and system control.

To maximize the overall efficiency of such process systems, it is essential to unravel the complex dynamics inherent in these systems and to optimize the connections among elemental processes according to overall objectives. At Matsumoto Laboratory, we analyze process dynamics across different scales, specifically micro, meso, and macro, and take on the challenge of designing and synthesizing multiscale processes and products by integrating analytical insights and modeling.

Furthermore, we explore new systems approaches to process intensification through the construction, simulation, and optimization of mathematical models of complex systems involving molecular reactions, transport phenomena, and system control. Through these research and educational efforts, we aim to cultivate individuals with broad knowledge of chemical processes and the ability to apply systems thinking in practice.
