Main research
Here, we will introduce the main research conducted in Saito Laboratory. We are constructing a unified analysis theory of energy systems that can be common to the analysis of electrical systems, mechanical dynamical systems, and thermal energy systems. We are also developing a simulator that introduces AI, IoT, and IT technologies into this theory.
"Hydrogen supply chain" that enables the realization of future society through this utilization, "society centered on renewable energy", "safe living space that can protect humankind from viruses", "providing safe and secure food" We are developing a wide range of research and development from basic research that is indispensable for "the supply chain of food that can be made" to social implementation.
