Supervisor
Professor / Tatsuro IMAKUBO
He is very approachable and I can easily ask him about anything I don't understand, from daily life to research. When explaining to me how to perform experiments, operate equipment, and process data, he teaches me in an orderly and easy-to-understand manner, so I can work hard on my research with full understanding.
Research Content
Our laboratory is conducting research to develop structural control methods for functional organic crystals, to control electronic properties based on these methods and to elucidate the mechanisms of property expression, and to discover new functions and properties that are expected to emerge in the future. Currently, our main research targets are organic materials that conduct electricity - "organic conductors". In particular, we are aiming to utilize the concept of "supramolecules," in which molecules are linked to each other by characteristic intermolecular interactions, to control crystal structures and electronic properties, and to discover new functions and properties.
Our work was selected as the front cover illustration of an academic journal.
A Day in the Lab
Because we value a sense of balance in our laboratory, lab members work hard on weekdays starting in the morning and do not conduct experiments on their days off or at night. In addition, the laboratory regularly holds round-table lectures and experiment reports. In the experiment reports, students report the results of their own research and discuss their future research plans with their professors and all students. Basically, the progress of research is left to each student, but if you have any questions, you can feel free to consult with your professor or senior students, so you do not have to worry alone and can proceed with your research efficiently.
