有機分子や分子集合体を基盤とする光材料や電子材料の構築、物性解明、機能の開拓に取り組んでいます。特に、光エネルギーを動力へと変換する新材料を開発し、環境物質科学への応用を目指しています。

​

Our research interests are synthesis of functionalized polymeric materials and molecular machines. Of particular interest is the synthesis of novel conjugated polymers for organic electronics which involve organic solar cells and organic thin film transistors. Other areas of interest include molecular machines working in solid state. They will lead to new type of optical, switching, and memory devices.
