Graduate School of Engineering, Chiba University
ProfessorEver since my undergraduate days, when I first encountered brilliant luminescence from rare earth complexes, I have been captivated by the beauty of their luminescence. Driven by this fascination, my research focuses on harnessing and controlling this unique luminescence through external stimuli. In particular, I aim to develop innovative display and dimming technologies by fine-tuning the light emission and coloration of these photo-functional materials via electrochemical reactions—precisely manipulating electron exchange within the materials.
Recent Topics of Interest:
I am interested in fusing electrochemical optical behavior, such as the light emission and color change of individual nanoscale molecules, with other optical phenomena observed in larger-scale micrometer-sized mesoscopic structures. Additionally, I often reflect on how best to inspire young people to experience the beauty and excitement of luminescence that captivated me.
Motto in Research or in Life:
・Always stay positive and embrace optimism!
・I strive to cherish the excitement and joy that research brings.
・I aspire to foster mutual growth with my students and colleagues through constructive and inspiring competition.
Hobby / Holiday:
・Weight Training (Since 2016—A great way to clear my mind and recharge mentally.)
・Watching Basketball (Since 2018—Proud fan of the Chiba Jets!)
