Graduate School of Engineering, Division of Material Chemistry Assistant Professor
Introduction
I am currently working at the Department of Material Chemistry of Kyoto University in Japan as assistant professor.
My research area is glass science. I am investigating the origin of dynamical phenomena such as relaxation, Soret effect, viscous flow, chemical reaction, crystallization and thermal conductivity in glass and glass melts by molecular dynamics, first-principle simulation and experiment. And, I am developing new interatomic force fields of oxide glass for largescale classical MD and analysis method to caracterize glass structure by MD.
