Prof. Masahiro Nishida began his academic career as a Research Associate in the Department of Mechanical Science at Tokyo Institute of Technology from 1996 to 1997, before transitioning to the Nagoya Institute of Technology, where he served as a Research Associate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering from 1997 to 2001. He then became a Lecturer from 2001 to 2004 and an Associate Professor from 2004 to 2018 in the same department. Since 2018, he has held the position of Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Nagoya Institute of Technology. In 2022, he took on additional responsibilities as the General Manager of the Quality Innovation Techno-Center at the institute. Prof. Nishida also gained international experience as a visiting researcher at Luleå University of Technology, Sweden, in 2009.

Research Interests 🔬

Prof. Nishida’s research focuses on the dynamic properties of materials, particularly in hypervelocity impact and shock compression of various materials. His key areas of interest include:

Hypervelocity impacts on metal and plastic materials, with applications to space debris bumpers.

Dynamic strength of advanced materials, especially recycled aluminum alloys and additive manufacturing materials.

Dynamics of heterogeneous materials, studying the behavior of aggregated soft particles.
He integrates both experimental and computational approaches in his research.
