Hiroshi Nogami

Short Bio:

Hiroshi Nogami is professor at Institute of Multidisciplinary Research for Advanced Materials, Tohoku University. He studied Chemical Engineering and was graduated from the same university in 1987. He continued research on the mathematical modeling and numerical analysis of pulverized coal combustion and cokemaking, and got the degree of Doctor of Engineering in 1992. \r\n He started his academic career at Research Institute of Mineral Dressing and Metallurgy, Tohoku University as Research Associate in 1992. He worked with Prof. Yagi for 13 years and developed kinetic based operation simulator of various high temperature processes, such as blast furnace, ultra-fine powder generation under arc plasma. He also worked with Prof. Guthrie at Department of Mining and Metallurgy, McGill University, Canada from 1997 to 1999. During this period, he developed a method of inverse-heat transfer analysis and applied it to the solidification process in the single-belt strip casting. He also contributed the development of molten steel feeder for the same process. He promoted to Associate Professor at Department of Chemical Engineering, Ichinoseki National College of Technology in 2006. Then promoted again to Full Professor at Mechanical Science Unit, Muroran Institute of Technology in 2011. Finally, he moved back to Tohoku University in 2013. \r\n His main research topics are on mathematical modeling of various industrial processes based on the multiphase thermal fluid engineering and reaction kinetics, \r\nand optimization of metallurgical and chemical processes through the operation analysis utilizing developed models from the viewpoints of energy, CO2 and resource issues. He has published more than 100 papers in refereed journal.
