Ayano Makinaga​

This teacher
What kind of teacher?

After working at the Dresden-Rossendorf Institute (Germany), Konan University, Hokkaido University, etc., he has been in his current position since 2018. He specializes in nuclear physics and has achieved results in research specializing in applications in the medical field. Actively participate in domestic and foreign science enlightenment.

WHAT ARE 17GOALS OF SDGs?
WHAT ARE 17GOALS OF SDGs?

Tips for solving SDGs shown by nuclear physicists At the request of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which is also the origin of nuclear engineering, Dr. Makinaga, who gives lectures all over the world, and researchers from all over the world will work on research in teams. Since there are many researchers, the research network is extremely important, and the utilization of such a global research network may be a hint for solving SDGs.

Professor Makinaga, who specializes in medical physics among nuclear physics

A research field that is used for research on equipment that diagnoses diseases by irradiating radiation and for treatment that reduces cancer cells. This technology is also applied to the fields of architecture and space development.

Disseminate research results and information on nuclear engineering to the world through the IAEA

The IAEA is active in providing information, and even in countries and regions where there are no hospitals equipped with radiation therapy equipment, it asks researchers to give lectures. In Japan, the Kyoto-based NPO "Ainshutai" is also promoting science.

In physics, there is a research network that covers the world

The number of research facilities in nuclear physics is small, and when experiments are conducted, they are published as papers, and when the results are recognized, they are registered with the IAEA. The data aggregated in the IAEA is now accessible and shareable by experts around the world. It is a daily occurrence that researchers are asked to participate in the project through the network.

This research network system will be a hint for achieving and solving the SDGs.

SDGs have become a global issue. If a network system can be constructed, such as by creating a community of researchers using the physics network as a hint and creating a database of cases and research results that each country is working on, it should be possible to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society. Research on nuclear physics provides hints for solving SDGs as an example of a network of wisdom, in addition to providing concrete social problem solutions such as research results.
