We study the dynamics of ‘complicated systems’ using advanced molecular spectroscopy. Especially, we now focus on time-resolved spectroscopy on condensed-phase molecules. Current research projects are followings:
- Observation and control of the nuclear wavepacket motion of the condensed-phase molecules
- Femto-millisecond spectroscopic study of the dynamics of the complicated molecular systems
- Linear/nonlinear spectroscopic study of heterogeneous systems
In the course of these researches, we develop new methods in molecular spectroscopy.
If you are interested in our research activity, please also take a look at an interview article of Prof. Tahara through the following link.
