Associate ProfessorCarbon materials such as graphite and activated carbon have been produced for a long time. In the past several decades, nanocarbons such as graphene and carbon nanotubes have also been studied. To enhance the performance of these materials, it is essential to introduce elements other than carbon, which adds complexity to their structure. Therefore, I am conducting applied research on structurally controlled carbon materials, focusing on developing techniques for structural control and analysis.

Recent Topics of Interests: Unraveling the mysteries of high-performance carbon materials
