Yasushi Koyama spends much of his time researching Photochemistry, Raman spectroscopy, Conjugated system, Singlet state and Analytical chemistry. His Photochemistry research includes themes of Fluorescence, All trans, Photosynthetic bacteria, Photoisomerization and Aqueous solution. His Raman spectroscopy research includes elements of Carotene and Excited state, Vibronic coupling.

The concepts of his Singlet state study are interwoven with issues in Triplet state, Absorption and Physical chemistry. His Analytical chemistry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Tetrahydrofuran, Infrared and Dimethylformamide. Within one scientific family, Yasushi Koyama focuses on topics pertaining to Crystallography under Bacteriochlorophyll, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Cis–trans isomerism and Isomerization.

His most cited work include:

  • Singlet Excited States and the Light‐Harvesting Function of Carotenoids in Bacterial Photosynthesis (143 citations)
  • Efficient light harvesting through carotenoids. (141 citations)
  • Raman and infrared spectra of the all-trans, 7-cis, 9-cis, 13-cis and 15-cis isomers of β-carotene: Key bands distinguishing stretched or terminal-bent configurations form central-bent configurations (118 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Photochemistry, Raman spectroscopy, Analytical chemistry, Singlet state and Crystallography. Yasushi Koyama brings together Photochemistry and Conjugated system to produce work in his papers. His studies deal with areas such as Carotene, Triplet state, Bond order and Nuclear magnetic resonance as well as Raman spectroscopy.

His research in the fields of Absorption spectroscopy overlaps with other disciplines such as State. The Singlet state study which covers Bacteriochlorophyll that intersects with Photosynthetic bacteria. His Crystallography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Resonance, Intermolecular force, Dimer, Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and Chemical shift.
