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

Evaluation method and criteria
The presentation (60%) and Q&A (40%) will be evaluated, and a score of 60 out of 100 points is required to pass the course.
The level of 60 points is defined as follows:
- Presentation: 40 points if the student prepares a well-structured presentation and explains in his/her own words what the techniques introduced in the lecture are used for in the paper and what information can be obtained from them.
- Question and answer session: 20 points will be awarded if the student is able to ask questions that are relevant to the content of the lecture.

The presenter of the presentation will be designated.
