Center for Frontier Science, Chiba University
ProfessorThe LEDs and solar cells we use in everyday life are based on a fundamental electronic device known as a diode. My research focuses on advancing diodes into more functional and socially beneficial technologies. Achieving this requires a deep understanding of charge transport within devices. To this end, I investigate the electronic states of materials and use these insights to design next-generation devices. In addition to my research, I am also involved in managing the Frontier Science Program (FSP), an early-admission initiative that allows gifted students to enroll at Chiba University before graduating from high school.
Recent Topics of Interests
・ Developing materials that enable efficient and controllable charge transport in diodes
・ Establishing device-design guidelines for integrating multiple functionalities into a single diode structure
・ Elucidating doping mechanisms essential for charge control
Motto in Research or in Life:
Cherish coincidences and encounters, and enjoy everything along the way.
Hobby / Holiday:
Sauna, running, and cooking.
Graduate School of Engineering, Chiba University
ProfessorI study the physical properties of novel materials, especially surfaces, thin films and nanostructured molecules, through theory and computer simulations. Using electronic structure calculations, I investigate the relationship between the atomic structure of the materials and their electronic and magnetic properties, in close collaboration with experimental groups in Chiba, elsewhere in Japan and abroad. I develop theoretical methods and computer codes for various electron spectroscopies, including photoemission, X-ray absorption and luminescence. I also do research on the statistical mechanics of solutions by extending classical fluctuation theory.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Altermagnetism. Single molecular magnets. Theory of angle-resolved and resonant photoemission.
Motto in Research or in Life:
Be open-minded. Think out of the box. Science is not a business.
Hobby / Holiday
Mountain hiking, Growing potatoes.
