He started his research on organic chemistry at Okayama University. During his Ph.D. course, he joined in the research groups in MIT and Kobe University. He obtained Ph. D. on 2010, and started his academic carrier as assistant professor at Okayama University, and promoted to associate professor on 2014. On 2012, he started to use nanocarbons, especially graphene oxide, from a view point of organic chemistry. He is involved in projects toward industrial production and practical application of graphene oxide and its composite materials. He established his venture company (NiSiNa Materials, Co. Ltd.) in 2012 to distribute graphene oxide for practical application.
