We welcome opportunities for research consultation, joint research, and commissioned research.

We can work hand in hand with various corporations through joint research or commissioned research. We also welcome contributions. Because we conduct very promising and interesting research, we do not mind working very hard.

The members of the lab are not only experts in the synthesis and analyses of nanoparticles and measurement of physical properties of nanoparticles; they also have wide-ranging knowledge in high polymers, amphiphilic molecules, organic synthesis, self-organization of nanomaterials, and electron transfer. Furthermore, they have considerable experience in handling electrochemical reactions such as corrosion, metal annealing, electroconductive material, ceramics materials, and electron microscopes. We are also tackling challenges in the field of mass analysis.

Of course, we are not conducting our research behind the closed doors; we have many personal contacts in Japan as well as all over the world, and we are equipped with excellent problem-solving abilities.

Please do not hesitate to contact us.

We are looking forward to receiving proposals from universities and national research centers for cooperative research efforts. Undergraduate and graduate students, please contact us via your advisor.
