2022.09.25 Lecture in Graduate School of Advanced Science and Engineering Hiromi Okamoto (Professor, Institute for Molecular Science, Visiting Professor, Waseda University) Title: “Microscopic Imaging by Chiral Optical Effects” Lecturer: Hiromi Okamoto (Professor, Institute for Molecular Science, Visiting Professor, Waseda University) Date: Wednesday, October 5, 2022 14:45-16:15 Place: Bldg. 63, 2F Conference Room 03 Organized by Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Graduate School of Advanced Science and Engineering Co-sponsored by Global Scientific Knowledge Integration Institute ◆Content: Chiral optical effects (circular dichroism, optical rotation, etc.) are widely used as a means to detect intrinsic chirality in materials. On the other hand, however, microscopic imaging of anisotropic and inhomogeneous materials is currently extremely limited due to the principle and experimental difficulties, such as error factors caused by anisotropy. In this talk, I will discuss the development of a method to solve this problem, the prospects of its potential as a new research method, and the information obtained by chiral optical imaging in the near-field region. ◆Profile of Speaker 1983 Graduated from Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, The University of Tokyo 1985 Completed Master’s program in Chemistry, Graduate School of Science, The University of Tokyo 1985 Withdrawal from Doctoral Program of the same 1985 Research Assistant, Institute for Molecular Science 1990 Research Assistant, Faculty of Science, The University of Tokyo 1993 Assistant Professor of the same 2000 Professor, Institute for Molecular Science ◆Awards 2012 The Chemical Society of Japan Award for Academic Achievement, The Chemical Society of Japan 2020 The Commendation for Science and Technology by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Prizes for Science and Technology (Research Category), Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology
