Outline Activities
I am exploring chemically how the Earth was born, how it developed into its present state, and what it will be in the future. On the social learning, I am conducting activities to clarify ambiguous spatio-temporal scale of "environment".

Educational Activities
In order to increase the educational effect, it would be effective to stimulate the learning motivation of students. I am therefore investigating the class evaluation to identify the factors that can stimulate and improve students' learning motivation, and to explore the educational system that can continue the learning motivation even after the class period.
