Biography

I was born in Sapporo, Japan, and grew up there until I graduated from high school. After my Ph.D. study and work opportunities at multiple institutions, my current research interests lie in the interdisciplinary fields of physical chemistry and nanocluster science, where nanoclusters (collective groups consisting of up to ca. 1000 atoms) are studied to elucidate their unprecedented properties, such as structures, reactivity, and responses to electromagnetic fields. To develop systems chemistry of nanoclusters, bottom-up synthesis of atomically precise nanoclusters is my expertise and key to unveiling how every atom and electron counts in controlling these new functionalities.
