Bio
Ninto Uda investigates the effects of chirality on material properties, building on a background in material chemistry. His current research focuses on chiral magnets, in which structural chirality influences magnetic structures through spin–orbit interactions. In particular, he studies chiral magnets with induced magnetic anisotropy, with the aim of uncovering novel physical phenomena.
Through a range of physical property measurements, including magnetic characterization, he seeks to elucidate the role of chirality in determining material properties. Furthermore, through collaborative research, he explores chiral phenomena and related physical quantities across diverse systems exhibiting chirality, including Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) matter. By comparing these systems, he aims to deepen the understanding of each and, more broadly, to clarify the fundamental influence of chirality on physical properties.

What I like about my science
After synthesizing a crystal or a material, there is a sense of "Wakuwaku"—that feeling of excitement and anticipation—when checking what I have actually created. There is another "Wakuwaku" when I explore the properties of the material. There is also a special kind of "Wakuwaku" when I know that systems on completely different scales—different materials or even forms of energy—can exhibit similar properties because they share a common feature like chirality. Research is filled with many kinds of "Wakuwaku", and I believe its true appeal lies in being able to experience these moments and share that sense of excitement with others.
