Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Science
I am a graduate student in the Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Science, specializing in quantum chemistry.
Currently, QM/MM method, divide-and-conquer method, and other excellent methods are used to compute huge systems with limited computational resources. However, there is a trade-off between making the system to be treated in quantum chemistry larger and making the computational target closer to reality and reducing the computational complexity.
Therefore, my goal is to use linear response functions to define a new chemical distance, which is the distance in molecular systems with inhomogeneous electron density distribution.
This will provide a clear indication of the quantum chemically important region in, for example, enzymatic reactions, and will allow the QM/MM method described above to easily set up the appropriate QM region.
My hobby is playing the piano, usually solo, but recently I have been given the opportunity to play in an ensemble, and I enjoy matching the sound I want to make with the other performers.
I also enjoy cooking, but since I don't know what my cooking is like in relative terms, I am looking for opportunities to invite friends to my home and serve them food.
