I am Kakutani Kotaro, a master’s student in the Graduate School of Engineering at The University of Osaka.
Based on Electrochemistry and Spectroscopy, I study electrode–electrolyte interfacial reactions in battery electrolytes, aiming to analyze reaction behavior and understand the underlying reaction mechanisms.
As an undergraduate student, I participated in a robot contest, where I was responsible for circuit design and team management. Through robot development, I became strongly aware of the importance of energy supply systems. This experience motivated me to pursue research in battery science, with the goal of contributing to the advancement of energy storage technologies.
I am currently conducting research on solution chemistry in aqueous electrolytes using electrochemical measurements and spectroscopic techniques such as FTIR and UV-Vis spectroscopy.
I also serve as the representative of the organizing committee for Kansai Haru Robocon, a robot competition for rookie university and technical college teams in the Kansai region.
