Recruitment

We are recruiting motivated students with an interest in nanoscience and a passion for pioneering a new field, regardless of experience. If you are interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in our group, please contact us. For more information, please see here. We are recruiting postdocs as well (JSPS Postdoctoral fellowships is an option).

Research Interest

Electrons in materials can exhibit unexpected properties that significantly impact society. This impact extends beyond fundamental science and includes next-generation devices. The materials system we focus on are low-dimensional quantum materials, including various 2D materials and their heterostructures. Our group aims to explore novel phenomena by combining materials preparations, device fabrications, and advanced spectroscopic techniques. You can find more information here.
