Safety Measurement Institute
Sustaining a healthy lifestyle in a clean and safe environment
The Safety Measurement Institute strives to achieve its goal of ‘sustaining a healthy lifestyle in a safe and clean environment’ by developing emerging technologies and supporting measurement standards related to nanotechnology, health care, and hydrogen infrastructure in addition to environment-related fields such as facility safety, nuclear waste, and climate watch.
Our institute develops evaluation technology of nanomaterial toxicity using nanomaterial property analysis and various molecular imaging technology coupled with an optical and mass spectrometry. In terms of measurement standard for health care, high sensitive biosignal measurement with AI-based analysis and quantitative medical imaging are being intensively developed. Our focuses also encompass the development of safety evaluation technology for hydrogen infrastructure and relevant materials, as well as structural safety monitoring and defect detection technology for multiscale constructions. Furthermore, the institute develops measurement techniques and standarad reference materials for safe disposal of radioactive waste, measurement standards for Global Warming Potential (GWP) of alternatives to the conventional greenhouse gases and other climate forcing factors.
