Associate Professor Hiroki Segawa, Analytical Chemistry Laboratory Contributing to forensic science from a chemical perspective
Both ourselves and the substances around us are made of molecules. For this reason, chemical analytical methods that focus on the quantity and properties of molecules are very important in so-called "forensic science. For example, a color test to determine the presence of a controlled substance uses a reaction based on the characteristic structure of the drug molecule. Our goal is to develop new analytical techniques for various substances targeted by forensic science that utilize the unique properties of molecules, and to contribute to the realization of a safe and secure society through the development of forensic science.
