ProfessorI am conducting research aimed at creating ‘meaningful structures’ in the mesoscale, which connects the nanoscale and microscale, through the assembly of molecules.
Given that crucial functions within living organisms heavily rely on mesoscale structures, my goal is to artificially fabricate such structures to generate novel functionalities.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Development of a method to assemble nanostructures into more complex hierarchical structures
Motto in Research or in Life:
Not being afraid to fail
Respecting others

Associate ProfessorCollection, preservation, identification, and characterization of fungi pathogenic to humans:
Certain types of fungi cause infections in humans, including skin infections such as athlete's foot and respiratory tract infections. These infections commonly affect immunocompromised patients and may invade the respiratory systems, such as the lungs.
These pathogenic fungi are collected in collaboration with medical institutions, analyzed for their species and characteristics, including drug sensitivity, and preserved.

ProfessorMy research has focused on microfabrication techniques for applications in materials development, biotechnology, and clinical diagnostics. One of our goals is to achieve precision bio-manipulation that could not be achieved with bulk-scale devices and systems. My research interests include, but are not limited to, the development of advanced systems for precise cell sorting using microfluidic devices, the fabrication of biomaterials for mammalian cell culture, and materials for rapid diagnosis of pathogens.

Associate ProfessorI am conducting research on the functionality of a single magnetic atom or molecule on the surface of solid materials, such as magnetic substances and superconductors, as a quantum bit or quantum sensor for the next generation of quantum computers. Additionally, I have developed a distinctive scanning tunneling microscope capable of directly observing the quantum states of the smallest atomic and molecular structures. My current focus is on actively contributing to the development of novel quantum materials.

Associate ProfessorCarbon materials such as graphite and activated carbon have been produced for a long time. In the past several decades, nanocarbons such as graphene and carbon nanotubes have also been studied. To enhance the performance of these materials, it is essential to introduce elements other than carbon, which adds complexity to their structure. Therefore, I am conducting applied research on structurally controlled carbon materials, focusing on developing techniques for structural control and analysis.
Recent Topics of Interests: Unraveling the mysteries of high-performance carbon materials

Assistant ProfessorI am elucidating biological and postmortem phenomena related to drugs and biometals by comprehensive analyses with mass spectrometry. Recently, I developed an ‘isotope pattern screening method’ that enables the selective detection of metabolites and degradation products from drugs and biometals without the use of radioactive labels. This technology has broad applicability and is expected to significantly advance research across diverse scientific fields.
Recent Topics of Interest:
Isotope tracers, Metabolomics, Drug metabolism, Antioxidant properties

ProfessorIn my research, I leverage newly developed ultrasound systems and advanced signal analysis methods to evaluate the relationship between tissue properties and acoustic characteristics across multiple scales, ranging from whole organs to individual cells. I integrate these findings with mechanical and biochemical data to gain a comprehensive understanding of the biophysical properties of various tissues. Through this approach, I aim to achieve the ‘standardization of image diagnosis’ and enable ‘non-invasive definitive diagnosis using ultrasound alone,’ independent of factors such as equipment and settings.
Recent Topics of Interests:
I am interested in the broad spectrum of biological wave phenomena, spanning from ultrasound waves to particle behaviors.

Associate ProfessorI am conducting research on legal support and access to justice for senior citizens, using a socio-legal approach. As the population ages, the legal issues that senior citizens may face are becoming increasingly diverse and complex. My research explores ways to improve access to legal assistance for those who need it, through the use of local networks, technologies, and information resources.
Recent Topics of Interest:
My current focus is on access to justice for preventive purposes —an approach that helps people prepare in advance for potential legal issues in later life so that they can live actively and with peace of mind in their senior years. I am also interested in how technological developments are transforming people's access to justice.
Motto in Research or in Life:
