About the Research
My research uses quantum-mechanics-based theoretical calculations to investigate the properties of materials and molecules at the atomic and electronic levels. In particular, I focus on catalyst materials for producing hydrogen through water electrolysis and explore the potential of new oxide materials composed of multiple metallic elements. More recently, I have also been incorporating machine-learning methods to efficiently identify high-performance materials, with the aim of contributing to a sustainable energy society.
A Message from Professor
Research often involves tackling problems for which answers cannot be found immediately, but the process can lead to new perspectives and discoveries. Science and engineering offer many different entry points, including chemistry, physics, mathematics, and information science, and as you deepen your studies, a theme that truly suits you gradually comes into view. Rather than comparing yourself too much with others, I hope you will value your own interests and your desire to learn.
