Hokkaido University

Institute for Chemical Reaction Design and Discovery

Research Outline

During my Ph.D, I mainly researched catalyst design and reaction mechanisms for the catalytic degradation of air pollution. I conducted my research mainly by experiment, supplemented by calculation. Moving forward, I will mainly research the screening of efficient catalysts through computational catalysis for complex pollution.
