Research Interests
Metamaterials are artificial media that consist of an enormous number of antennas, whose sizes are much smaller than the wavelength of electromagnetic waves.
They are designed to possess novel electromagnetic properties that cannot be obtained using conventional materials found in nature.
My studies are as follows.
・Development of fabrication technology that unites nanofabrication to mass production
・Development of metamaterial film and bulk metamaterial
・Investigation of peculiar optical magnetic field response of metamaterial composed of Split-ring Resonator
・Development and evaluation of metasurface where optical refraction, reflection, and absorption were controlled
・Study concerning high sensitivity gas sensing technology using metamaterial
