Research fields

My research focuses on design of particles and control of their 
dispersibility. For example, skeletal silica nanoparticles, cubic-shaped 
particles with 12 silica nanoframes, exhibit much higher light 
scattering performance as compared to dense silica nanoparticles, due to 
lots of scattering sites derived from refractive index difference 
between the silica frame and air inside the particles. What I used here 
is only silica, which is very familiar material, however, precise 
structure control could bring out unique functions.
