I study heat and tool wear in metal cutting through experiments and numerical calculation.
About
I investigate how hot a cutting tool becomes during machining and how it wears, using both experiments and a cutting-temperature model. My goal is to find conditions that balance tool life and machining efficiency from the perspective of temperature.
I will enter the doctoral program at the Graduate School of Engineering, Nagoya University, in April 2027.

Research
- What I work on
- In metal cutting, tools gradually wear from heat and friction and have to be replaced.
I study, through experiments and numerical calculation, where and how hot a tool becomes during cutting. - Why it matters
- Fewer tool changes make production easier to automate and reduce the waste of tool material.
- Methods
- Temperature measurement by experiments, and temperature prediction by mathematical models.
- My role
- Developing the measurement method, and building and validating the temperature-prediction model.
Details will be published after the papers appear.
