Associate Professor / TAKAHASHI Yukiko
Associate Professor Takahashi is an energetic supervisor who guides us with passion. She provides precise advice when we face research challenges. She fully supports our growth into independent researchers while respecting our autonomy.
Research Content
We focus on maximizing the potential of organic pigments by creating nano-pigments and ultrathin films combined with inorganic particles. At the nanoscale, these materials exhibit unique properties distinct from bulk solids, such as high reactivity and specific optical behaviors.
By harnessing these characteristics, we develop functional nano-materials for critical applications including environmental monitoring, pollutant removal, and energy conversion. Our goal is to contribute to a sustainable future by creating safe, high-performance functional nano-color materials.

A Day in the Lab
We have no core hours, so students conduct research independently on their own schedules. We hold weekly group meetings for progress reports and discussions. Additionally, monthly all-lab meetings allow us to exchange ideas with members from other research groups.
Outside of research, we enjoy various social events. Last year, we climbed Mt. Yahiko and held cooking parties to make Yaki-manju and Champon.
