Overall, there is a very active atmosphere. Not only within the year group and within the laboratory, but also in interactions outside the laboratory and the department, there is lively exchange. It’s not just about going to class; everyone enjoys student life together in a friendly atmosphere.
I am developing new organic dyes that contain the element “phosphorus.” Generally, organic molecules are composed mainly of carbon and hydrogen, but by introducing phosphorus, they can exhibit vivid colors or strong luminescence. I get really excited when the molecules I synthesize show experimental results that match my hypothesis, or when I discover interesting properties that I didn’t expect.
I am currently considering various career paths, focusing on research positions in private companies, academia, and government research institutions. I want to pursue a career where I can utilize my logical thinking skills and my extensive knowledge of chemistry. As Nagoya University is also rich in international exchange opportunities, I hope to actively communicate and broaden my horizons.
I chose the Faculty of Science at Nagoya University because it has a track record of producing Nobel Prize winners, a well-equipped educational environment, and highly motivated professors.
In fact, I had decided to choose the Department of Chemistry since I entered Nagoya University. This was because I had always liked chemistry, and I wanted to study chemistry in an advanced environment.
