材料科学

Our Unit studies how quantum and hybrid materials respond to light and convert, transport, and store energy, aiming to uncover new optoelectronic principles.

Geomimicry, Emergence, and Meta Soil Unit re-imagines soil as adaptive matter. We learn nature's microscopic design rules to engineer "meta soils" with tailored composition and function.

Bridging nano to continuum scales, we develop advanced computational & imaging techniques for designing scalable processes for sustainable materials production and manufacturing.

液滴・ソフトマター ユニットは、ソフトマター、液滴物理学、界面現象が交わる豊かな研究領域を探究しています。

The Energy Materials and Sustainability Unit focuses on the development of advanced materials from single atoms to nanoparticles through precise tuning of their local surface environments, and on the integration of these materials into innovative technologies for solar and electrochemically driven energy conversion processes.

Our research We search for new basic principles in organometallic chemistry and use them to develop catalysts and materials for our brighter future. Currently, we are studying organometallic chemistry and catalysis based on reversible cleavage of metal-metal bonds and unconventional organometallic chemistry of complexes with more than 18 formal electron counts. Molecules consisting of metallic and organic parts are known as organometallic molecules. These molecules have unique properties that the metallic or organic parts alone do not have. These properties are used to produce crucial compounds in human society, such as medicine and polymers, and are the basis of several Nobel prize discoveries including one in 2022. Open positions I have an opening of fully funded postdoc position, starting from January, 2025 or later. Please contact me if you are interested in studying organometallic chemistry and catalysis. (Posted September 30th, 2024) I'm looking for postdocs with independent funding, such as JSPS and Canon fellowships. Those who are interested in organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis, please contact me for more details.
