    MessageGas-liquid two-phase flows can be found in all objects on Earth. This flow cover an extremely wide range of fields, from meteorological phenomena, to industrial products, to microscopic objects such as aerosols and cellular functions. Studying the gas-liquid two-phase flows is thinking of the environment surrounding us.
    These gas-liquid two-phase flows, which exist on a wide range of scales from the global scale to the molecular size, are said to consist of interactions between different scales. In other words, in order to unravel the gas-liquid two-phase flow, we need a measurement device that can measure a wide range of areas with high accuracy.
    Optical measurement is the key to solving this difficult problem, which provide excellent accuracy and a wide measurement range, such as measuring the distance from ground to the moon or the thickness of a nanometer. Optical measurements, which generally require a high degree of accuracy, are made in a very well-equipped laboratory environment.
    In my research, I am trying to measure the flow by instrumenting high-precision optical measurements in various environments through optical waveguides including optical fibers.
    I would like to open up new possibilities for 'optical multiphase flow measurement' in Hamamatsu, the preeminent photonics city.
