Principal Work History:
I received my Ph.D. in 2003 from the Department of Synthetic Chemistry and Biological Chemistry in the Graduate School of Engineering, Kyoto University. After receiving my degree, I remained in the Department of Synthetic Chemistry and Biological Chemistry at Kyoto University as a research fellow under the 21st Century COE Program. Following completion of this program, I joined the Quantum Chemistry Research Institute as researcher. In 2009, I became an assistant professor at the Institute for Molecular Science. Since 2016, I have served as an associate professor at ESICB, Kyoto University.
I have joined the foundation of a new NPO.
