Research topics

The main research subjects we are focusing on are preparation of fluorescent nanomaterials and photo-functional molecules, control of charge carrier dynamics and fluorescence blinking in nanomaterials, optical control of biomolecular functioning in cells, and manipulation of molecules and nanomaterials using laser tweezers. In these research subjects, we employ steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy, single molecule fluorescence microspectroscopy, and laser trapping microscopy.
