GREETING

How are you all doing? I am doing well.

I retired from Kwansei Gakuin University, and it has been about six and a half years. For the first two years, I spent about one-third to one-quarter of the year abroad, but for the next two years, I never went abroad due to COVID-19. Year before, I went to Europe in September and the United States in October, and finally returned to the international community. This year I already visited China, Poland, and Italy (ICORS-2024).

As usual, I am indebted to Kwansei Gakuin University and Kobe University and continue my research. In addition, I go to Kindai University and other places where Ozaki Lab alumni are located. Sometimes I go to Sendai, Tsukuba, Tokyo, Nagoya, Fukui, Takamatsu, Shimane, etc.

I am involved in research on FUV, UV, NIR, IR, FIR/Terahertz, and Raman spectroscopy. I also play an important role in making strong bridges between quantum chemistry and spectroscopy. I prepare many papers, reviews, and books with my collaborators. I, of course, keep the motto of the Ozaki group "Top among the Top"

Currently, I have a guest professor position at Kobe University and a guest principal fellow position at Riken.

This year, I will visit the US (SciX) in October and I plan to visit several other countries from November. I am looking forward to seeing you soon!

Sincerely yours,
Yukihiro Ozaki
