Chemistry at pirika.com covers three main types of chemistry.
Information Chemistry + Education 2011-
I have been teaching as a part-time lecturer at Yokohama National University for almost 10 years. In spots, I have also lectured at the University of Tokyo and other institutions.
I am of the generation that was very excited about “chemistry and computers” when I bought my first NEC PC-8801 nearly 40 years ago and drew molecular models. I feel the same kind of excitement about today’s AI and robotics, but at the same time, I feel a sense of crisis that “chemistry could be taken away from humans.
So, recently, I have been teaching on the main theme of “What we should learn now so that we don’t lose our jobs to AI in the next 40 years. (I will be lecturing at Yokohama National University again in 2020.) If I get a chance, I would like to teach at other universities and technical colleges.
I think the most fundamental part of this is information chemistry education.
I would like to take the opportunity of retirement to teach Hansen solubility parameters and YMB, YPB, and their use in information chemistry not only to universities but also to companies.
I have been doing property estimation/inverse design for materials in various fields for more than 20 years.
Physical property estimation/inverse design
Chemo-Informatics
Materials Genome
Materials Informatics
It has been changing its name, but I believe its essence is reverse engineering.
Using the pirika tools and other tools, we will promote education that allows chemical researchers to freely manipulate inverse designs.
MAGICIAN(MAterials Genome/Informatics and Chemo-Informatics Associate Network)Training courses and MOOCs based on university courses（Massive Open Online Course: In addition, we are starting an open online class, which is open to a large number of people around the world.
I will try to uncover the needs of people without being particularly concerned about nationality.

Hansen solubility parameters (HSP) 2008.7-
A friend of mine at California Institute of Technology introduced me to Dr. Hansen and Prof. Abbott, who are developing Hansen’s solubility parameters.
Since then, I’ve been spending a lot of time on that development.
Many of Pirika’s equations are included in HSPiP (Hansen Solubility Parameters in Practice) and are available for sale.
And I’m introducing various ways to use the software on pirika.
We are receiving suggestions from many users for functions they want and reflecting them in the HSPiP development. So far, we have not accepted any suggestions from Japanese users, but we will start to do so in 2020.
Prof. Hansen and Prof. Abbott are developing and providing HSP-based software with custom functions for specific companies. I don’t know how many such needs there are in Japan, but I would like to start such activities.
When I retired, I was put in charge of HSPiP sales and support throughout Asia.

General Chemistry at Pirika (1990-)
**1990-1991：**I studied computer chemistry with Professor Goddard at the California Institute of Technology, where I learned molecular orbital calculations, charge equilibrium calculations, molecular mechanics calculations, Monte Carlo calculations, etc. I bought a Mac and got into Mac programming.
**1995-1999：**I worked on the molecular design and inverse design of CFC alternatives at a national laboratory in Tsukuba. I learned the neural network method and became absorbed in information chemistry. It was also during my time in Tsukuba that I opened the Pirika website.
**2005-2007：**I got my doctorate in chemical engineering at Nihon University while raising twins. I did a lot of work on estimating the physical properties of compounds, especially vapor pressure, vapor-liquid equilibrium, and ionic liquids.
**2008-：**A friend of mine from California Institute of Technology introduced me to Dr. Hansen from Denmark and Professor Abbott from England. They are the ones who developed the famous Hansen Solubility Parameters (HSP). I was welcomed as a senior developer and contributed to the development. I have added C# to the development language.
**2011-：**I started teaching part-time at Yokohama National University. I’ve also incorporated HTML5+CSS+JavaScript to make the development language work in browsers and e-books.
2022-: I also plan to start teaching part-time at the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the First Pharmaceutical University (opening in April 2022). I’m compiling a list of what I’ve done so far and posting the information on pirika.
