MATSUO Tsukasa: Professor Dr. Sci.; Department/Applied Chemistry　
Department of Applied Chemistry
Graduate school/Molecular and Material Engineering

We develop materials that exhibit exceptional functionality by freely combining various elements in the periodic table. We anticipate that this will not only contribute to a better understanding of fundamental chemistry, but also lead to innovations in electronics and energy-efficient technologies.
