About

Taro Kato (加藤太朗) is currently a Ph.D student at the Department of Materials Engineering in The University of Tokyo in Japan. He works on the development of brand-new gas senosors using nanostructured metals (e.g. nanowires, nanosheets). He received my Master’s degree and Bachelor’s degree in Dept. of Materials Engineering from The University of Tokyo in 2021 and 2019 respectively. His current research areas are Carrier Transport in Nanostructured Metal and Catalytic Reaction on Metal Surfaces. His awards include the Young Scientist Presentaion Award from the Japan Society of Applied Physics (JSAP).
