Meiji University Releases New Content in PR Video Series “Incredible Senseis at Meiji University” to Showcase World-Class Research

To disseminate its research that leads Japan and the world, Meiji University is producing the PR video series “Incredible Senseis at Meiji University” and has launched a landing page. A new video featuring Professor Hiroaki Kusunose of the School of Science and Technology has now been released.

This video content is ingeniously crafted with lively music and narration, incorporating animations and personal commentary from the researcher himself, to make the university's cutting-edge research成果 accessible and engaging not only for researchers but also for the general public.

In 2018, Professor Kusunose and his collaborators discovered the quantum-level definitions for four types of multipoles. They also realized that by classifying these definitions in connection with symmetry, they can be used as a 'complete basis' to express all properties of materials. This is expected to be highly useful as a 'world map' for viewing the world of material science from a new perspective, aiding in the search for unknown materials and functions.

**Hiroaki Kusunose** Professor, School of Science and Technology, Meiji University Specializes in condensed matter theory, and magnetism/superconductivity theory. He explores fascinating quantum phenomena created by numerous electrons and collaborates with experimental groups to theoretically elucidate their properties and principles. In fiscal year 2024, he received the Meiji University Keiji Kodama 'Ganseiru' Research Promotion Award, given to researchers who have achieved outstanding results.
