ProfessorI aspire to make chemistry accessible, even to junior high school students. In recent years, my focus has been on four main themes:
Exploring polymers that exhibit a gold-like color without using metals.
Researching the photochemical fixation of aerial nitrogen to create next-generation fuels from sunlight and air.
Developing electrochemical windows that can be switched between transparent and white opaque.
Investigating the chemistry of contact and frictional electrification, which remains shrouded in mystery.

Recent Topics of Interests:
Commercializing the outcomes of my current research theme.
Motto in Research or in Life:
I am researching with the aim of achieving true originality, drawing inspiration from the innovative works of Ms. Y.M.
Hobby / Holiday:
Weight training, Listening to 70's Western and new music
