Research Themes

Spintronics in nanostructure

We are investigating spintronics, a new technology, which uses electron charge and spin, simultaneously. Electron has two degrees of freedom, charge and spin. Using state-of-art nanotechnology, we design material structure and its spin states and develop new spintronic phenomena and functionalities in condensed matters.

Teaching Philosophy

We develop your research, problem-solving, and presentation skills through our education in the lab. Also, we encourage you to acquire the ability to identify problems to be solved.
