Research Interests

As observed in Mother Nature, molecular assembly is a driving force in obtaining functional molecules. Such functions embedded in self-assembled structures are fascinating from the viewpoint of material development, whereas the correlation between assembled structures and their functions is still unclear. We approach this challenging area through interdisciplinary research.
