Our Study

Our group studies in the field of computational chemistry, which aims to understand chemical phenomena and properties related to materials using computers. 

Our specific research topics include the design of materials related to light-induced reactions, methods for determining the presence or absence of hydrogen atoms in proteins, simulations of chemical reactions caused by catalysts and chemicals, and the development of teaching materials that promote computer-based understanding of fields studied in high school. 

Recently, we have also been working on the use of machine learning to predict and evaluate the properties of substances based on their chemical formulas.

Chemistry is often associated with experiments, but our group does not conduct experiments but uses computers and mathematical formulas in our research. Depending on the way you look at the problem, you can challenge your favorite field such as chemistry, physics, biology, information, education, and so on.
