Advanced Molecular Sensing

 TOMA Koji
Course content
Knowing the spatiotemporal state of molecules is a major clue to unlocking the essence of matter and life. However, there was no way to "see" molecules in the past. In this lecture, an overview of molecular measurement techniques will be given that have developed rapidly over the last 40 years. Also, basic molecular sensing research for material properties and life phenomena, as well as applications for medicine, environment, and food will be introduced. In the latter of the lecture, students will present recent papers about molecular sensing technology for discussion.
Purpose of class
Participants will gain an understanding of molecular sensing technology through this lecture. They will also learn how to communicate their understanding to others in an easy-to-understand manner.
Goals and objectives
  1. to be able to understand the basic principles of various molecular sensing technologies
  2. to be able to explain the significance and applications of molecular sensing technology
  3. to be able to search the latest molecular sensing research, understand the contents, and accurately communicate and discuss them with others
