Hidema Lab., Complex Fluids Eng. Lab, Nagoya U

Prof. Hidema and Dr. Ohie from @complexfluidnu Nagoya University and Prof. Soldati from TU Wien visited us to discuss about turbulence with complex fluids.

Great news! Mr. Eguchi and Dr. Ohie received presentation awards from the Division of Fluid & Particle Processing, SCEJ, for their talks at the SCEJ Autumn Meeting. Congratulations! 🎉 scej-fpp.org/partluid/sympo…

Our lab enjoyed a two-day trip to Gifu — full of activities, good food, and fun moments! 🎉

Our latest paper is out! 🎉 “Effect of zeta potential of different surface-modified microparticles on their electrokinetic migration in microchannels under a direct current electric field” 🔗doi.org/10.1016/j.surf…

Dr. Ohie received a research grant from the Mazda Foundation — congratulations! Great achievement!

Prof. Hidema and Dr. Ohie joined tfec11.jp in Okinawa (Oct 22–25) and gave two talks. We also visited Prof. Marco Rosti @CFF_OIST at OIST — great discussions both at the conference and in the Rosti Lab!

第73回レオロジー討論会．清水君がポスター賞を受賞！見学会では雪室を初めて見学！ We attended the 73rd Annual Rheology Autumn Symposium. Mr. Shimizu was awarded the Poster Prize. During the technical tour, we also had the chance to visit a snow storage facility! #Rheology

Prof. Mats Stading from RISE visited our lab and delivered a seminar titled “Rheology for Material and Food Design: Current Activities at RISE and Chalmers.” Our students also had the opportunity to show him around the lab and present their experiments. Thank you for visiting!

熱工学コンファレンス．粒子表面の濡れ性が粒子のマイグレーション挙動に与える影響について発表！ Annual Meeting of the Division of Thermal Engineering, JSME! We presented the influence of particle surface wettability on particle migration behavior. #wettability #particle

Prof. Rob Poole liverpool.ac.uk/people/rob-poo… visited our lab and gave a seminar. The following day, we had an in-depth discussion about our projects. Thank you for coming!

We helped organize a student workshop iweayr2025.com afterward, where two of our students presented posters. A-PRCR conference prcr2025.jpの後に開催された学生ワークショップで，2名の学生が発表しました． #rheology #complexfluids

Prof. Hidema helped organize the A-PRCR conference prcr2025.jp in Kobe and gave a talk on elastic instability. doi.org/10.1063/5.0201… doi.org/10.1063/5.0242… doi.org/10.1063/5.0245… doi.org/10.1678/rheolo… #elasticinstability

New academic year starts. Assistant Prof. Dr. Kohei Ohie, 4 undergrad students, 2 new master students join us. We did “Hanami” in a Tsurumai park. 助教の大家広平先生と，新しい学生を迎えました．歓迎会は，持ち寄りのお花見をしました．

Today was the first graduation day for our lab. 2 students are leaving, and we will welcome new students next month. These books are gifts from Prof. Hidema to the students as a graduation gift. These books are very interesting. Try them if you like!

Prof. Hidema received “The SCEJ Award for Outstanding Women's Activity”from Japan Society of Chemical Engineers in the annual meeting!!

Our team won second place in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering softball tournament !! 山口研との合同チームで，学科のソフトボール大会で準優勝しました．おめでとーう！！
