Research fields

I'm working on nanotechnology utilizing biomolecular motors, and sliding friction of soft materials. I'm conducting these researches through experiments and with computer simulations. I believe that conducting these application-oriented researches also deepen our basic understandings on biophysics, polymer physics and statistical physics. Specific research projects are listed below:
Motor protein-based nanotechnology:
*Desiging guiding tracks for molecular shuttles powered by motor proteins
*Mechanism of movements of molecular shuttle driven by motor proteins
*Development of microactuators driven by motor proteins:
Sliding friction of soft materials:
*In situ observation of frictional interfaces:
*Contact mechanics
Through these researches, I'm trying to educate students to be engineers with strong background of physics and being able to work on various fields.
