■Research Themes

This research investigates the movement of ions in materials using electromagnetic waves in the boundary region between radio waves and light (terahertz). The current focus is on exploring "coherent ion conduction" by analyzing big data obtained from terahertz spectra and computer simulations of superionic conductors (fuel cell materials) using machine learning.
