On Wednesday, April 23, 2025, Yuki Ishihara, a Teikyo University Graduate School student (1st year student Graduate School of Science and Engineering), was selected as a Special Research Fellow (DC1) by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.
The Special Research Fellowship Program aims to foster and secure highly creative researchers who will lead the future of academic research in Japan. It employs and supports doctoral students and those who have completed doctorates who wish to devote themselves to research at universities or other research institutions as special researchers.
Ishihara aims to fundamentally solve problems in attitude control of artificial satellites and other devices through a mathematical approach. He is working on a research project entitled "Solution of the unwinding phenomenon that occurs in control using dual quaternions, which is a further development of quaternions, an extension of complex numbers, using a mathematical technique called group theory to try to solve the unwinding phenomenon that occurs in control using dual quaternions."
