Research

I am an experimental physicist working on a wide range of materials and quantum phenomena.
All the researches are based on high sensitive nuclear-spin detection usign the measurement systems which I have built up from scratch and have been improving.

The topics include novel mechanisms of superconductors, nuclear-spin manipulation for quantum information, nuclear-spin detection of spacial distributed strains in various materials, nuclear-spin detection of decoherence noise in various materials.

Mentoring

My students have improved their skills a great deal after they joined my research lab.
Shinji Watanabe, who joined my research lab after he assumed his master degree in 2003, contributed a lot to my lab. After he got his Ph.D, he worked as a post-doc in my lab supported by JST (Japan Science and Technology Agency) in 2008. Through a post doc of JST-ERATO project at Prof. Hirayama's lab in Tohoku Univ., he has been a tenure-track assistant professor in Kanazawa Univ.

Other students all went into industry with their master degrees. Engineers at Hitachi Labs, Mitsubishi Labs, JR-East, DNP (Dai-Nippon Printing), Alps Electric Corp., Nihon-Seiki Corp.
