Hiroyuki Kagi

Hiroyuki Kagi is a Professor at The University of Tokyo, Department of CHEM. His research focuses on geochemistry, deep earth mineralogy, and the behavior of elements on Earth. He investigates structural changes of inorganic compounds under high pressure using X-ray and neutron diffraction techniques. His work also includes in-situ observation of mineral dissolution and growth, which influences mass transfer in the Earth. Additionally, he studies trace substances that impact these processes. His research areas encompass geochemistry, minerals, and high-pressure spectroscopy.

Hiroyuki Kagi is a researcher at the University of Tokyo specializing in geochemistry and deep earth studies. His work focuses on understanding the composition and behavior of materials under extreme conditions, particularly in the Earth's mantle. Kagi's research includes the analysis of mineral inclusions, such as diamonds and carbonatitic melts, to infer the physical and chemical properties of the deep Earth. He has developed advanced experimental techniques, such as high-pressure apparatuses and micro-Raman spectroscopy, to study fluid inclusions and their implications for mantle dynamics. His studies also explore the role of water and hydrogen in mantle processes, including their transport and phase transitions under high pressure.
