● Kenta ISHIMOTO Assistant Professor
Research Interests: Fluid Mechanics
Research Topic: Theoretical Hydrodynamics of Sperm Swimming
Short Introduction
Kenta was a boy who was interested in various fields of science, including history, mineralogy, organic chemistry, and quantum physics. One day, he was surprised at the complexity of nature, when he looked at the river flow at ‘Kamogawa Delta’. Since then, he has focused his interest on fluid mechanics, which is a branch of physics on dynamics of air and water. In Hakubi project, he applies theory of fluid mechanics to sperm swimming, and approaches mysterious problems of fertilization such as sperm selection and sperm guidance. Also, he keeps pursuing ‘simple’ problems that arise in daily life as he thought at the river.
