Our research group integrates analytical chemistry and polymer chemistry to develop innovative materials across a wide spectrum—from daily consumer products to advanced biomedical technologies. We specialize in fragrance and consumer product development, sustainable polymer materials, and cutting-edge biomedical technologies, organized into three key research themes:
Fragrance Chemistry & Advanced Analytical Techniques
We employ state-of-the-art analytical instruments such as mass spectrometry to deeply investigate the characteristics and molecular interactions of fragrance compounds. Our goal is the precise design and innovative development of fragrance materials for cosmetics, household products, and the food industry. Students involved in this research gain valuable analytical skills and practical experience, enhancing their competitiveness for careers in cosmetics and consumer-product industries.
Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Polymer Materials
Our lab focuses on the design and synthesis of environmentally friendly polymers, including biodegradable and recyclable materials. We develop practical solutions aimed at minimizing waste generation and environmental pollution. Through this research, students acquire hands-on experience addressing real-world environmental issues, preparing them for successful careers in eco-friendly materials and recycling industries.
Biomedical Polymers for Advanced Healthcare
We design and apply biocompatible and biodegradable polymers to various medical fields. Our key projects include the development of artificial periosteum for bone regeneration, bio-printed artificial organs, and controlled drug delivery systems. By participating in these groundbreaking biomedical studies, students gain crucial expertise, positioning themselves competitively for careers in the biomedical and medical device industries, ultimately contributing to improving human health and quality of life.
