AboutAbout the lab

Developing new spectroscopy to reveal the nature of interfaces

The Analytical Chemistry Lab develops new nonlinear spectroscopic methods to probe the microscopic structure and dynamics of interfaces.
Using these methods, the lab aims to clarify at the molecular level how the functions and phenomena at the interfaces of various materials, such as electrodes, semiconductors, and functional polymers, arise.
In the College of Chemistry's faculty list, the research is described as "interfacial molecular science explored with laser light."
In the College of Chemistry, students can join this lab for their fourth-year graduation research.

ResearchResearch themes

To understand at the molecular level what happens at the interfaces of materials, the lab develops new nonlinear spectroscopic methods. It applies these methods to interfaces of electrodes, semiconductors, functional polymers, and other materials to uncover how their functions and phenomena arise.

Developing and applying new spectroscopic methods for probing interfaces↗

The lab develops new nonlinear spectroscopic methods to probe the fine structure and motion of interfaces. It applies these methods to material interfaces such as electrodes, semiconductors, and functional polymers, and investigates at the molecular level how their functions and phenomena arise.
