Research Interests: Theoretical Chemistry, Computational Chemistry
Research Topic: Automated Global Reaction Route Mapping on Quantum Chemical Potential Energy Surfaces of Biological Systems
Short Introduction
Automated exploration of chemical reactions with computers will enable efficient and effective design of chemical reactions, something that Satoshi believes will be made possible by the development of global reaction route mapping (GRRM) method. The idea of GRRM arose in daily early morning discussions with Prof. Koichi Ohno, when he was a master course student of Tohoku University in 2002. Starting from reactions in very simple molecules, he has extended its applicability to reactions in clusters, catalytic systems, and giant systems. The goal of his study in the Hakubi project is to extend GRRM through the development of highly efficient algorithms so that reactions in biological systems can be explored automatically.
