Tetsuya Shoji

Hi everyone, My name is Tetsuya Shoji from Toyota Motor Corporation, Japan.

I obtained Doctor degree in Material Science at Hokkaido University.

My doctoral research is on the Collective Dislocation Behavior during plastic deformation of Metals. In order to express Collective Dislocation motion and reaction, I chose Reaction-Diffusion equation (hereafter R-D Eq.). According to my best knowlegde, the first attempt to descrive Collective Dislocation behavior with R-D Eq. was made by D.Walgraef et al in 1989. So, I refered Walgraef's work and set up my own equation that suite to describe the Collective dislocation behavior in FCC metal (e.g. Cu, Au and Ag) single crystal during tensile test.

I'm looking forward to meet you in Summer School and discuss many things about Complex system.

My answer for Dan's questions will come soon.(^-^;) I updated only Dan's questions as follows.

1. What topics do you have some expertise in and would you be willing to help others learn them?

2. What do you want to learn?

3. Do you have any projects that would benefit from interdisciplinary approach?

4. Do you have any ideas for what sort of project you would like to attack this summer?

5. What's your favorite "big problem"?

6. If you were given the opportunity to see where we were in one hundred years with respect to progress on one problem/subject, what would it be?
