Hi!
My name is Tohru Kobayashi.

I was born in Tokyo on 22 September, 1959.
I got a doctor's degree on science from the University of Tokyo in 1988.
I am now working at the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN) in Saitama, Japan.
As a member of the Laser technology Laboratory, I am working for the laser spectroscopy of atoms and molecules.
My current research interest is the production of molecular fragment ions after femtosecond laser ablation of molecular solids. I apply time-of-flight mass spectrometry to observe fragment ions of both negative and positive charges.

I am now teaching basic physical chemistry course at Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology in Fuchu, Tokyo.

I am a member of the Chemical Society of Japan.

My address is as follows.
