Shuhei Kodama has completed his PhD at the age of 27 years from Tohoku University. He is an Assistant Professor of Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology. His research activities focus on short-pulsed laser-induced periodic surface structures (SPLIPSS) to clarify principles and phenomena, to control LIPSS and to provide a material surface with various functionalities such as reduction of friction, water repellency, anti-reflection and bioaffinity. He gave 9 presentations and 3 lectures about SPLIPSS at international and domestic conferences, and published 6 papers in reputed journals. He is passionate about precision processing.

Compared with traditional nanotexturing methods, an ultrashort-pulsed laser is an efficient technology of fabricating nanostructures called laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) on material surfaces. LIPSS are easily fabricated when the pulse duration is shorter than collisional relaxation time (CRT). Accordingly, ultrashort-pulsed lasers have been mainly used to study LIPSS, but they unstably irradiate while requiring high costs. Although long-pulsed lasers have low cost and high stability, the phenomena (such as the effect of pulse duration, laser wavelength, and heat) of the LIPSS fabricated using short-pulsed lasers with the pulse duration close to the maximum CRT, which is greater than femtosecond, have not been clarified. However, the nanosecond pulse laser has been re... view moreĀ»
