The advance of science and technology has been remarkable, and this enable us to live a convenient life. However, we know only a handful of the laws of nature and there is vast unknown territory which should be shed light on. I think I want to do something as a researcher that will contribute to reveal a piece of the law of nature.

I respect a scientist who keep making an effort, enjoying everything in nature, and presenting interesting concepts and materials to the world.

As the proverb says, every failure is a stepping stone to success. This means that any (good or bad) results are essentially important to achieve the research goal, so I think research works do not get stuck, in a sense. But, when I feel frustrated, then I usually take a coffee break.

My research is to develop new materials. It is an incredible pleasure to succeed in finding a material which has never been found so far. To find a room temperature superconductor is the final goal of my research. I aim to grasp it first in the world. World of the room temperature superconductor – that sounds amazing.
