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.
