Organic Chemistry Division

Laboratory for Functional Molecules and Materials

Research Interests

We design, synthesize and materialize unique functional molecules and manipulate their optical, electronic and mechanical properties by controlling their motion and assembly in materials. With the design of organic molecules, we create molecular systems and organic materials that advance science and technology. Our laboratory takes a broad view of research opportunities and fosters academic researchers that will play a leading role in the next generation of science and technology, based on both fundamental science and applied technology.
