Chemistry across multiple length scales
Emily is an exceptional crystallographer. Modern crystallographic software often provides only averaged structures, yet she can examine diffraction patterns directly to uncover hidden disorder and reveal the true arrangement inside a crystal. Her work on topologically aperiodic frameworks reflects this unique skill. She understands how order and complexity coexist in crystalline materials and uses this…
Our D1 student, Ayana, received an Oral Presentation Award at the conference Empower Women in MOFs and Beyond 2025, which was held in Mexico this November. Her clear and confident presentation impressed many participants and reflected her steady progress in research. We congratulate Ayana on this achievement and look forward to her future work. 博士課程1年の宮田…
Our master student, Atsuto, received a Poster Presentation Award at the 75th Conference of the Japan Society of Coordination Chemistry (JSCC2025), held on September in Nagasaki. and reflected his steady growth as a researcher We congratulate Atsuto on this achievement and look forward to his future progress. 修士課程の大久保 温人さんが、9月16日に長崎で開催された第75回錯体化学会（JSCC2025）において、ポスター発表賞を受賞しました。分かりやすい説明と丁寧な準備が高く評価され、研究者としての着実な成長が感じられる成果となりました。 大久保 温人さんの受賞を心よりお祝い申し上げます。今後のさらなる活躍を期待しています。
Soft porous crystals built from flexible metal–organic cages require a delicate balance between structural order and dynamic motion. Donglin explored this balance with great care and revealed how changes in phase or activation can lead to distinct responsive behaviors. Her approach to research shows her personality very clearly. She works with patience, precision, and quiet…
Our postdoctoral researcher, Heng-Yu, received awards at two international conferences in June. Her work was recognized both in Europe and Asia within the same week. She received the Best Poster Presentation Award on June 20 at the 4th International School on Porous Materials in Como, Italy. From June 22 to 24, she attended the 2025…
Our group members participated in the 19th International Symposium on Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry (ISMSC2025) in conjunction with the 9th NanoLSI Symposium. The talks and poster presentations by our group members were excellent. We’re especially proud to share that our outstanding PhD student, Ayana Miyata (D1), received a Poster Presentation Award!Congratulations, Ayana! 当研究室のメンバーは、第19回国際環状および超分子化学シンポジウム（ISMSC2025）と第9回NanoLSIシンポジウムに参加しました。口頭発表・ポスター発表ともに素晴らしい内容で、好評を博しました。 中でも、博士課程1年の宮田 彩名さんがポスター発表賞を受賞しました！おめでとうございます！
Starting in April 2025, three of our PhD students have been awarded JSPS fellowships. Congratulations to Ayana for receiving the JSPS DC1 fellowship, and to Gaopeng and Tayier for receiving the JSPS DC2 fellowship!We hope they enjoy their research and look forward to seeing their future achievements. 2025年4月より、私たちの学生3名が日本学術振興会（JSPS）特別研究員に採用されました。宮田さんがDC1に、GaopengさんとTayierさんがDC2に採用されました。おめでとうございます！これからの研究生活を楽しみながら、大きな成果をあげてくれることを期待しています。
We’re happy to welcome new students this semester! New students are undergraduate students Hiroto and Takahiro, exchange student Yan-Ling from Taiwan, and KUINEP student Johnpaul Smith from the United States. We hope they enjoy their time here and have fun with their research. 新学期を迎え、新たなメンバーが研究室に加わりました！ 学部生の福山 峰光さんと末永 紘都さん、台湾からの短期留学生 Yan-Ling さん、そしてアメリカから京都大学国際教育プログラム（KUINEP）の Johnpaul Smith さんです。 皆さんが研究を楽しみ、充実した時間を過ごせることを願っています。
"Reliable" is a strong word, but we want to start with it. We don’t use it lightly, but when you meet Tomoki, you’ll be amazed at how well he manages everything. In his research, he explored the effect of bulky groups on the porosity of amorphous solids of MOPs. In the lab, he takes charge…
Porous soft materials are widely used in water purification and other applications because of their excellent porosity and designability. As an expert in this field, Zaoming has worked on pore-networked gels and membranes, making progress in the removal and detection of trace-level pollutants from environmental water. Beyond connecting pores, Zaoming is also great at connecting…
