Takayoshi Nakano

Biography

Takayoshi NAKANO is a full professor in Division of Materials & Manufacturing Science, Graduate School of Engineering at Osaka University. He received his Ph.D. degree from Osaka University in 1996. His major area of specialty is crystal plasticity and biomaterials, and his research interest includes the evaluation of biological tissues, especially bone, the formation mechanisms of tissues both in vivo and in vitro and the development of novel biomaterials which can function as or better than the original biological tissues, based on a materials science point of view. In addition, he develops new high-temperature heat resistance materials with anisotropic crystallographic structures. He aims to establish “Anisotropy in Materials”, as a new research horizon in Materials Science.
