Supramolecular Chemistry, Conjugated Molecules, Photoresponsive Molecules
We are engaged in the development of photonic and electronic materials based on organic molecules and molecular assemblies, aiming to elucidate their physical properties and explore new functions. In particular, we focus on creating novel materials that convert light energy into mechanical motion, with the goal of applying them to environmental material science.
Photofunctional Nanomaterials and Molecules、Single-Molecule Fluorescence、
Single-Particle Detections、Nano and Molecular Sensors、Electron Transfer Systems
We study and develope functional nanomaterials and photofunctional molecules to solve various problems in energy, environment, and biological sciences. The properties of the developed materials and molecules are investigated at the single-molecule and single-particle level using advanced laser spectroscopy techniques.
