Takuya Hoshina

Takuya Hoshina is an Associate Professor of the School of Materials and Chemical Technology at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech.), Japan.

Takuya Hoshina received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Engineering from Tokyo Tech. in 2002 and 2004, respectively, and then a Ph.D. in Engineering from Tokyo Tech. in 2007. He worked as a JSPS Research Fellow (2006–2008) and a Post-doctoral Fellow (2008) at Tokyo Tech., Japan. He was an Assistant Professor at Tokyo Tech. from 2008 to 2019, and a Visiting Scholar at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) from 2016 to 2017. He has been in his current position since 2019. He has studied the structure and properties of dielectric and ferroelectric materials for more than 20 years. He had achievements in various topic of materials processing, structure and phonon analyses, theoretical calculation, and machine learning. His recent highlights include the study on ultra-wide range dielectric spectroscopy. He has measured the complex permittivity of various functional materials over a wide frequency range from kHz to THz to quantitatively describe the dielectric polarization mechanisms. He is an author of over 140 peer-reviewed papers, and holds 4 patents in the area of ferroelectric materials. He received the CerSJ Award for Advancements in Ceramic Science and Technology, and the Award of the Outstanding Paper Published in the JCS-Japan from the Ceramic Society of Japan. He is a member of the ACerS Electronics Division.

His recent interests include low-loss dielectric materials for 6G communication systems, non-perovskite ferroelectric materials, mixed-anion compounds, THz measurement techniques, and high-throughput material exploration.
