Introduction of Research

Mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) are molecules mechanically bonded through molecular entanglements that cannot be disassembled into their components without cleaving a covalent bond. During my doctoral studies, I worked on improving the performance of photofunctional materials. Recently, I have achieved to develop a novel molecular machine by precisely controlling the movement of MIMs. In the future, I would like to integrate such supramolecular chemistry with microflow technology, which enables precise control of the kinetics of supramolecular motion and paves the way to unprecedented molecular machines.

Self Introduction

Since I can remember, I have been moving further and further north, living in Kagoshima, Tokyo, and now Hokkaido. I have specialized in supramolecular chemistry and photochemistry, and I would like to explore new research areas by merging them with flow technology. My hobby is music, and I particularly enjoy the music in New Orleans. I mainly play the sousaphone in live performances.
