Welcome to Yuki Kimura's page
Elucidates fundamental processes of nano-particle formation and material evolution in the universe based on singularity in nano-scale
Let's do a best research in the world!
Nucleation and growth of nanometer sized particles is my most interest research field. I want to elucidate the initial stages of materials formation in molecular level incorporating the specific physical properties and singular phenomena appearing in nano-scale. I also want to know how cosmic dust particles and complex organic molecules form in the universe and how living organisms control polymorphs based on transmission electron microscopy, interferometry and microgravity experiments.
