Toyohiro Kagawa

Takashi Kagawa received the Ph.D. degree in science from Hokkaido University in 1980. He has been a Professor of physics, Nara Women's University, Nara, Japan, since April 1987. He has developed relativistic atomic structure theory at Nara Women's University, where he has been working on a relativistic configuration-interaction (RCI) atomic structure code using finite-analytic-basis-set expansion method. His research interests include the basic theory of relativistic and QED effects in heavy atomic systems but also application of the RCI theory to simulation of X-ray spectra from highly-charged ions in nuclear fusion and astrophysical plasmas. He is now researching extreme ultraviolet light sources for the lithographic applications.
