Masashi Noda

Molecular Science Division Researcher
Institute for Molecular Science, National Institutes of Natural Sciences
Majored in material engineering at the School of Engineering, The University of Tokyo and received his Ph.D (engineering). Engaged in research into optical response of nanostructures based on large-scale computing at the Institute for Molecular Science.

Motivation for applying for the position
Up to now, I’ve been engaged in numerical calculation type research into electronic dynamics based on large-scale computing. I’d like to expand this research into ultra-parallel large-scale computing using the K Computer.

Mission / Role
To conduct tuning of real-time, real-space electronic dynamics programs on the K Computer, and also develop ordinary numerical calculation algorithms and help with research into other topics.

Ambition
I’d like to conduct large-scale optical response calculations for energy transfer and solar cells in order to gain an understanding of natural phenomena, and also acquire basic knowledge relating to device development.
