A Paper by Bern Yu Jeco (D3, Okada Lab) and Associate Professor Kumiko Oguma (Co-creative Community Planning, Design, and Management) was published in Journal of Photonics for Energy.The Cross-Cutting research has been started as part of the "Leadership-talent growth program (I) -Proposal-".

The technical and the social feasibility of using solar-powered ultraviolet light-emitting diode (UV-LED) module for a microbial water treatment system were investigated. The authors of this paper are working on the development of a small-scale solar-powered UV-LED water treatment system prototype intended for off-the-grid islands in the Philippines.
