Hi all!
I work as a associate professor at Institute of Multidisciplinary Research for Advanced Materials (IMRAM), Tohoku University.
My research theme is "spectroscopic studies of chemical reactions on surfaces".
I have studied chemical reactions at solid/gas (UHV to ambient) and liquid/gas interfaces using a range of spectroscopic techniques
from IR, soft x-ray to ultrashort laser. Now I aim to construct a new soft X-ray synchrotron facility and develop new operando spectroscopy techiniques.
