Our homepage has moved to here. (July 17, 2018)
We study the dynamics of ‘complicated systems’ using advanced molecular spectroscopy. Especially, we now focus on time-resolved spectroscopy on condensed-phase molecules. Current research projects are followings:
- Study of ultrafast reaction dynamics by advanced time-resolved spectroscopy
- Study of soft interfaces and development of interface-selective nonlinear spectroscopy
- Study of structural dynamics of biomolecules and development of new single molecule spectroscopy
In the course of these researches, we develop new methods in molecular spectroscopy.
If you are interested in our research activity, please also take a look at an interview article of Prof. Tahara through the following link.
