Bio

I am a visiting researcher in Maty Lab. I am a second-year doctoral student at the Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan. My research field is liquid crystals, polymers, and inorganic nanomaterials. My interest includes photo-ATRP, RAFT, and oxygen-tolerant ATRP. I use ATRP in my research and came to Maty Lab to develop my own research.
