Research Overview
Research Overview
My research focuses on understanding interactions, properties, and degradation in bio-based materials and linking them to evaluation and materials design. I study cellulose derivatives, wood coatings, cellulose nanofibers, and related materials using spectroscopy, TD-NMR, thermal analysis, statistical analysis, and machine-learning-based approaches.

Main Research Areas
Structure–property relationships in cellulose- and wood-based materials
Degradation analysis and diagnosis of wood coatings and polymeric materials
Materials evaluation using spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and data analysis
Functional design and applications of sustainable materials
Research Perspective
Research Perspective
My research is not only about making materials, but also about understanding why they show particular properties, what kinds of interactions and structures support them, and how degradation or hidden changes can be detected.
Bio-based materials such as cellulose- and wood-based systems are important from the viewpoint of renewability and sustainability, while also exhibiting complex hierarchical structures and diverse interactions. I aim to understand their behavior through both experiments and analysis, and to connect this understanding to evaluation methods and materials design.
