Research Interests

​Dr. Habuchi’s research focuses on molecular imaging using advanced single-molecule fluorescence imaging and microscopy techniques in order to understand the hidden roles of static and dynamic disorders in complex systems. His research interests include cell adhesion, topological polymer dynamics, development of super-resolution fluorescence imaging methods, structural dynamics of proteins, photophysics and applications of light-emitting conjugated polymers, and fluorescent proteins.
