He earned his PhD in Polymer Chemistry from Kyoto University in 2016, working with Prof. Yoshiki Chujo. He worked as a Visiting Research Fellow in Prof. Kenneth J. Wynne’s laboratory at the Virginia Commonwealth University in America, in 2014. In his thesis work, he developed three-dimensionally-arranged π-conjugated materials and studied their specific optical and physical properties based on the structure and chirality. His present research theme is development of functional π-conjugated materials with the unique nature of heteroatoms.
