Research


Research in Kubo group is focused on the development of advanced materials based on synthetic organic chemistry and supramolecular chemistry. We pursue innovative methodologies for creating functional materials by utilizing molecular self-assembly approach. Our current interest is to fabricate chemical stimulus-responsive soft materials. In addition, synthesis of functional dyes for application in organic devices such as organic solar cells is an important research target in our laboratory.
