Terahertz spectroscopy of water (Abstract)
Bio
Koichiro Tanaka was born in Sapporo, Japan in 1962. He obtained his B.Sc. (1985), M.Sc. (1987), and D.Sc. (1990) degrees from Kyoto University. He became a research associate in the Institute for Solid State Physics, The University of Tokyo after graduation in 1990. He joined an ERATO ‘HIrao-Active-Glass-Project’ lead by Prof. Hirao in 1995 and returned to the Department of Physics in Kyoto University as an Associate Professor in 1997. He was promoted to Full Professor in 2004. Since 2008, he has also been working at iCeMS in Kyoto University as a principal investigator. His main topic is development of novel spectroscopic techniques to explore dynamics in terahertz frequency region and application to non-equilibrium condensed matter physics.
