Dr Susa worked for Semiconductor Research Laboratory, Matsushita Electronics Corporation in 1982-1986, where he was engaged in research and development on VLSI processing, especially about solid-state image sensors. He was employed by Tokyo Tech in 1986 as research associate; in this period of time he received his Doctor of Engineering at Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1990. His doctoral thesis was about structural study on thin silica films. He also stayed at National Physical Laboratory (NPL), UK as guest worker in 1992 - 1993. At NPL, he started research on mould flux for continuous casting of steel. In 1993 he was promoted to associate professor at Tokyo Tech and also to full professor in 2002, and now serves as Dean for School of Materials and Chemical Technology. His current research is focused on physical property measurements at high temperatures on materials relevant to ironmaking and steelmaking processing. Dr Susa has memberships of Iron and Steel Institute of Japan, Japan Institute of Metals and Materials, Japan Society of Thermophysical Properties and Society of Glass Technology UK. In particular, he assumed the roles of editor in chief of editorial board and executive board member in Iron and Steel Institute of Japan and the role of vice president in Japan Society of Thermophysical Properties.

・As one of the deans concerned, I would like to promote collaborative work and personal exchanges based on the MOU with CSM, University of the Arts London, leading to cooperation between industry and academia.
・I would also like to cooperate in development of colourful alloys attractive to artists in the Team ‘New alloy development and designing’.
