The early research experience on metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions (Prof. Hua Fu Group) and its application in organic electronic materials development (Sony Materials Lab at Atsugi) gave me the belief that, rational selection of metal elements as well as structure design of organic ligands and metal complexes will provide infinite possibilities, including solutions to environmental pollution... The nature has achieved the biggest "environmetnal engineering", photosynthesis, which starts with Mg complex havesting sunlight. Fe, Co, and Cu complexes also play key roles in numerous enzymatic reactions, including pollutant degradations. Biomimetic design, and further discoveries and developments beyond the biomimetic system are what I want to contribute to both environmental engineering and chemical science. Think about the number of metal elements, their variable oxidation states and coordination patterns, and the unlimited ways of ligand design.
