MINGOO JIN RESEARCH GROUP

Designing molecular dynamics in solid-state with investigating new functions

Hokkaido University, WPI-ICReDD

Welcome to
Mingoo Jin Laboratory!

Our group are engaged in the development of a novel solid state molecular materials by designing “molecular dynamics” in crystal with functional properties. By taking advantage of the highly ordered molecular arrangement in crystal with molecular motions (rotating, shifting, Oscillating, etc. ), mechanical and electronical features in molecular level can be designable which can connect with essential solid-state properties such as optics & luminescence, electronics, thermal behavior, etc. Through the researches, we aim to foster pioneering researchers who can contribute to develop our society through cutting-edge science in diverse fields.
