Functional Dye Chemistry Laboratory

PI: Prof. Yousuke Ooyama

The word "functional dye" originated in Japan. Functional dyes are molecules that have new functions such as changing their color and luminescence properties, recording information, and converting energy by external stimuli including light, heat, electric field, and magnetic field. We are developing new functional dyes and conducting polymers, finding new functions, applying them in opto-electronics, sensors, and the biomedical field, and opening the way to new applications.

We are recruting graduate students (master and Ph.D.). Please check the details (information about the entrance exams).

Your laboratory visit is alxays welcome. You can have an online interview. Please feel free to contact Ooyama for any questions (E-mail: yooyamahiroshima-u.ac.jp).
