This course is formally registered as part of the master’s program research requirements. Students conduct research on the
application of analytical chemistry to forensic science and develop new analytical methods for a variety of sample types.
Through a series of research activities, students will develop presentation skills as well as the ability to identify and solve research problems.
Through a series of research activities, students will develop presentation skills as well as the ability to identify and solve research problems.
Students will conduct research in analytical chemistry at the master’s level, with particular emphasis on applications of
analytical chemistry to forensic science, and will develop new analytical methods for a variety of sample types. Through these
research activities, students will deepen their knowledge in analytical chemistry and acquire skills in designing experimental
methods, analyzing data, and developing logical interpretations.
At the same time, students will develop the ability to clearly communicate their research to others and to identify and overcome challenges encountered in the course of their research.

- To be able to conduct research in analytical chemistry independently, including identifying research problems and exploring appropriate solutions.
- To develop critical thinking skills based on data when evaluating previous studies related to analytical chemistry and one’s own research results.
- To be able to communicate research outcomes and acquired knowledge clearly and effectively so that they can be understood by others.

Within the field of analytical chemistry research, this course focuses particularly on applications to forensic science and
on the development of new analytical methods for a variety of observable samples encountered in everyday life. Students will
conduct experiments and data analysis as the core of their research activities.
The research process includes reviewing prior studies, identifying existing challenges and devising methods to overcome them, experimental verification, and evaluation of the data obtained. Through these activities, students will develop the ability to critically evaluate research, communicate their findings and insights to others, and independently advance their research.

The primary basis for evaluation (80%) is the student’s overall engagement in research activities, including the quality and
quantity of experiments and data analysis, progress reports, and presentations in seminars and journal clubs. Academic conference
presentations and publications (20%) are also taken into consideration in determining the final grade.
A final score of 60% or higher is required to pass the course. Greater emphasis is placed on the research process than on the research outcomes themselves.
