My research topic is "Understanding the physical property of matters by using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The principle theory of MD simulation is very simple such as solving the equation of motion for every particle consisting the system numerically. It makes us possible to track the dynamics of the system from microscopic point of view such as nanometers and nanoseconds.
The main subject of the study is "liquid crystals." Liquid crystals are soft matter and possess the fascinating physical properties. Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are based on its electro-optical properties which is one of the famous characteristics of liquid crystals. Surprisingly, many types of liquid crystals can be found in our daily life such as soap bubbles, plasma membrane, and so on. They are studied for more than a hundred years, but there still remains a number of mysterious properties. In order to elucidate those interesting properties from the microscopic aspect, I carry out MD simulations for the system of liquid crystals and related soft matters.
