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 lecture, the students will be asked to introduce and present papers related to the research and technology introduced and discuss them.
Purpose of class
The students will be able to understand of molecular sensing technology and communicate their understanding to others in an easy-to-understand manner.
Goals and objectives
  1. The students will be able to understand the basic principles of various molecular sensing technologies
  2. The students will be able to explain the significance and applications of molecular sensing technology
  3. The students will be able to search the latest molecular sensing research, understand the contents, and accurately communicate and discuss them with others
