Dr. Shunsuke Akasaka

He joined ROHM Co., Ltd. in 2005 and engaged in research and development of oxide semiconductors. Subsequently, he worked on the research and development of gas sensors and passive components using MEMS technology. He has been in the current position since 2021.

Hydrogen energy is expected to significantly contribute to achieving carbon neutrality because it does not emit carbon dioxide. Currently, various methods are being proposed for the generation, storage, distribution, and utilization of hydrogen. For the social implementation of these methods, hydrogen sensors with high precision and high reliability across a wide concentration range are required. In this lecture, we will introduce ROHM’s high-precision thermal conductivity hydrogen sensor technology, its development direction, and the expected applications.
