Associate Professor (Inamori Frontier Program)
Specialized Fields
Inorganic chemistry, nanomaterial chemistry
Particles with diameters of around less than 100 nm (1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m) are referred to as nanoparticles. Due to their extremely small particle size, these particles exhibit novel chemical and physical properties that are not observed in bulk materials. We focus on developing chemical synthesis techniques that enable precise control over atomic arrangements, allowing us to create novel inorganic nanomaterials such as metals and oxides. We aim to contribute to the development of advanced materials for the next-generation society by applying these materials to areas such as hydrogen production catalysts.
Message
I aim to pursue creative and exciting materials science by freely exploring the full potential of the periodic table of elements and conducting research that ignites curiosity. Through this program, I will share groundbreaking research outcomes with the world and contribute to society through interdisciplinary collaboration and industry partnerships.Brief History
