Yasushi Okumura, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Nano-Organization Lab (Kikuchi-Okumura Lab) studies how to give functional molecules such as liquid crystals and polymers distinctive ordered and organized structures, creating new "soft matter." The lab investigates the structures and physical properties of these materials, aiming to apply them to materials with advanced functions in electronics and photonics. A distinctive feature is that synthetic chemistry (making things) and physical property evaluation (understanding their essence) can be carried out at the same time within a single lab. From the standpoint of physical properties, the lab aims to train people who can carry out the molecular design and creation of new substances with advanced functions.

The Nano-Fusion Materials Lab studies how to create nanostructures with new functions, based on inorganic materials science. The lab designs metal oxides from the atomic and molecular level and fabricates them as nanostructured materials. It aims to explore the physical properties and functions hidden in a single-crystal nanostructure and to develop them into devices. The lab belongs to the Division of Fusion Materials at the Institute for Materials Chemistry and Engineering, and its cooperating department is the Department of Interdisciplinary Engineering Sciences in the Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Engineering Sciences.

Ken Yamashita, Associate Professor

The Hetero-Fusion Materials Lab studies the creation and functional development of light-emitting materials and organic semiconductor materials at the boundary of organic chemistry, materials chemistry, and photochemistry. As light-emitting molecules, the lab focuses on luminescent radicals, whose ground state and excited state are both doublets, and on dendrimers. The lab works consistently from molecular design and synthesis through evaluation of optical properties to device applications. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Yamashita Lab."

Mitsuhiro Murayama, Professor (Cross-appointment)

The Nanomaterials Characterization Lab develops and uses advanced transmission electron microscopes to study the nanoscale world of materials. Its core work is in situ observation: applying heat, light, or external force to substances and materials and watching changes in their microstructure and properties in real time. The lab combines this with data science and computational science to establish an advanced analysis method called operando electron microscopy. Its experiments cover materials ranging from metals, polymers, and ceramics to semiconductors, minerals, and meteorites, and experiments and technology development support each other.

Hikaru Saito, Associate Professor

The Nanostructure Optics Lab (Saito Lab) uses electron microscopes to study the states of light and electrons inside nanostructures. It focuses on techniques such as electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) and cathodoluminescence (CL), and also incorporates information-science methods such as machine learning. The lab also works on confining light in nanoscale spaces and on writing nanoscale light sources with electron beams. It started in 2025 as a relatively new lab within the Institute for Materials Chemistry and Engineering.
