Kuroda aims to establish a new research paradigm that dynamically visualizes and controls topology and quantum geometry hidden in quantum materials, based on spin-resolved angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (Spin-ARPES) integrating ultrashort-pulse lasers and synchrotron radiation. Building on his contributions to the elucidation of topological electronic states exhibiting helical and chiral spin–orbital textures in semiconductors and magnetic materials, he promotes the concept that quantum geometric quantities, such as Berry curvature and the quantum metric, serve as fundamental descriptors governing emergent material functionalities. To realize this vision, he advances two complementary research directions: the development of experimental methodologies to extract quantum geometry from spin–orbital textures, and ultrafast measurement techniques capable of directly capturing light-induced spin correlations and electronic dynamics on the atto- to femto-second timescale. Through these efforts, his research seeks dynamic control of quantum geometry and light–spin correlations emerging under non-equilibrium conditions.
