Associate ProfessorI find joy in creating molecules and have broad interests across various research fields. My current research focuses on organic–inorganic hybrid materials that combine the properties of both classes of substances, metal-free materials with metallic luster, and the synthesis of organic compounds and metal complexes with unique structures and physical properties. I also aim to implement the materials I develop in real-world applications.
Recent Topics of Interest:
• Metal-free materials with metallic luster
• Thermal insulation materials
• Materials that convert heat into other forms of energy
and more!
Motto in Research or in Life:
Do what brings you both joy and fascination
Be kind to others and strict with myself—though I’m still working on that!
Hobby / Holiday:
Playing sports (especially soccer), mountain climbing (currently on hiatus), and laid-back camping

Associate ProfessorI am conducting research with the aim of developing innovative processes that transform underutilized waste materials and natural products into functional substances. This involves modifying crystal and surface structures to release useful substances or generate new functionalities. In addition, through the evaluation of these newly obtained materials, I am exploring ways to create novel materials and innovative approaches to material science.
Recent Topics of Interest:
Recovery and conversion techniques of valuable materials from waste composite materials
Development of salt-trapping materials for soil recovery in salt-damaged areas
Advancement of resource engineering technology for space exploration
Motto in Research or in Life:
If you know your enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.
Hobby / Holiday: Tennis, Watching sports

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 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.
Recent Topics of Interest: The development of a quantum bit network utilizing atom and molecule
Motto in Research or in Life: Persist in what I like.

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
Hobby/Holiday: Going out with my children

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.
