44Yasushi NomuraAssociate ProfessorApplied Molecular ChemistryUsing a computer to examine the properties of substances in a “dry lab,” thereby performing chemistry without experimentationDepartment of Chemistry and MaterialsI am examining numerous properties, including optical properties, without actually carrying out experiments by performing molecular computation based on quantum chemistry. This approach makes it possible to understand the true nature of those properties and to discover the roots of the properties of the substances one wishes to investigate. Currently, my lab is focusing its research primarily on carbon substances such as fullerenes.Associate Professor Nomura took his current position in 2005 after working in the Faculty of Textile Science and Technology at Shinshu University as an assistant professor. His area of focus is theoretical chemistry based on quantum chemistry. Recently, he has been researching the electronic properties of carbon materials such as fullerenes, the glow of certain organic molecules, and their quenching process.Currently, organic synthesis using molecular computation to predict reaction pathways has been addressed in the scientic literature. In this way, researchers expect that by calculating an ecient reaction in advance, it will be possible to carry out experiments without wasting test reagents or time.Outlook for researchWhile graduates pursue numerous career paths, many aim to become system engineers, teachers, or public ocials.Outlook for students after graduationThere are abundant electrons in the large red and blue areas of this molecular orbital model related to electron distribution for a certain fullerene.One subject my lab is investigating is carbon nanotubes.Yoshiyuki HattoriAssociate ProfessorApplied Molecular ChemistryDeveloping new luminescent materials and energy-storing materials using nanocarbonDepartment of Chemistry and MaterialsI am carrying out research to synthesize fluorescent nanocarbon and to use nanocarbon (carbon nanotubes, graphene, carbon nano-horns, etc.) in energy-storage devices (primary and secondary lithium batteries and super capacitors). My research covers a wide range of topics, from fundamentals to applications.Associate Professor Hattori took his current position after working as a researcher involved in collaboration among industry, academia, and government in the Chiba University Faculty of Science and as a senior assistant professor in the Faculty of Textile Science and Technology at Shinshu University. He is currently engaged in basic research in carbon science and inorganic uorine chemistry, including research on the applications of nanocarbon as an electrode material and as an adsorption material.Potential applications for this research are growing in number and include drive power sources for electric vehicles, next-generation bio-imaging materials, and cleaning gases for semiconductors that are environmentally friendly and energy-ecient.Outlook for researchGraduates seek employment at chemical companies, particularly companies involved in carbon materials, electrochemicals, and uorine chemistry, or as teachers or public ocials.Outlook for students after graduationWe also succeeded in synthesizing porous carbon nano-sheets, whose potential uses include capacitors and electrodes in high-output secondary lithium batteries.My lab succeeded in synthesizing uorescent nanocarbon, whose applications include use in imaging materials.
