Koji Kishio

Koji Kishio is a astronomy topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Koji Kishio rather than just read about it. In short: Kohji Kishio (岸尾光二, Kishio Kōji; born April, 1951) is a Japanese scientist. He retired from the University of Tokyo in March 2017 and is now Emeritus Professor of UT.

Key takeaways

Koji Kishio belongs to astronomy; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Koji Kishio to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Koji Kishio from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Kohji Kishio (岸尾光二, Kishio Kōji; born April, 1951) is a Japanese scientist. He retired from the University of Tokyo in March 2017 and is now Emeritus Professor of UT. His major research fields are Solid State Chemistry, Materials Science and Superconducting Materials Engineering. He is a Fellow of the Japan Society of Applied Physics.

Biography He was born in Nagoya City on April 14, 1951. In 1970, he graduated from Asahigaoka High School in Nagoya. Four years later, he graduated from Department of Industrial Chemistry at the University of Tokyo, from which he also obtained a Master of Engineering degree from Department of Industrial Chemistry in 1976. He then entered the graduate school of Northwestern University, where he worked as a research assistant at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. He received his PhD from Northwestern in 1981 and returned to Japan, becoming associate professor in the University of Tokyo's School of Engineering in 1990. He was a visiting associate professor at Kyoto University's Institute of Chemical Research from 1993 until 1995. In 1996, he became professor at the Department of Superconductivity Engineering. The department later joined into the Department of Applied Chemistry and he continued to be a full professor. During the 2001-2003 period, he was Vice Chairman, International Exchange and Program Committee of UT, after which (through 2005), he was Director at the Cryogenic Research Center of UT. In 2017, he retired from UT and the title of Emeritus Professor was awarded.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Koji Kishio

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Koji Kishio claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Koji Kishio before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Koji Kishio ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Koji Kishio

In research: Koji Kishio appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Koji Kishio in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Koji Kishio is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1951 births, Academic staff of the University of Tokyo, Japanese chemical engineers, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Koji Kishio outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
