KAMIYAMA Tadashi

Position
Professor
Laboratory
Physical Chemistry Laboratory
Biophysical Chemistry, Solution Chemistry

Research on elucidating the so-called “blueprint” and “operating manual” of proteins by understanding the nature of proteins under a variety of conditions (temperature, pressure, solvents, additives, etc.).

SUZUKI Hal

Position
Associate Professor
Laboratory
Laboratory of condensed matter physical chemistry
Condensed Matter Physical Chemistry, Thermodynamics

Thermodynamics and dynamics of various molecular condensed materials are investigated by calorimetry and rheometry, in order to reveal their physical characters in the aggregate.

SEGUCHI Yasuhiro

Position
Associate Professor
Laboratory
Materials Physics Laboratory
Solid State Chemistry, Thin-Film Physics

Materials shrunk to the nanometer scale may exhibit unexpected structures and properties. Our research focuses on controlling the morphology of nanomaterials produced by physical/chemical vapor deposition techniques, and elucidating their distinctive properties.

MORISAWA Yusuke

Position
Associate Professor
Laboratory
Applied Spectrsocopy Laboratory
Physical Chemistry, Molecular Science, Spectroscopic Analysis, Molecular Spectroscopy

Researching photo-physics based on fundamental spectroscopy research. Also developing analytical methods by observing spectra to extract information such as the attributes and amounts of a substance based on the interaction of the substance with light.
