"Our research is aimed at determination of reaction mechanisms and active sites in surface catalysis by metals and metal oxides. By application of both photo-electron spectroscopies and reaction techniques, we have successfully identified the oxide surface sites and characteristics required for a variety of reactions. A goal of this research is to demonstrate the design of new materials and of new catalysts starting from the discovery of novel surface reactions, and thus to establish a new paradigm for the development of new catalytic technology."
