Graduated from Faculty of Engineering, Kyoto University
PhD, Graduate School of Engineering, Kyoto University Director of iCeMS/Special Professor, Kyoto University

A global pioneer in PCP/MOF research on porous coordination polymers. We developed a new self-assembled porous material using metal and organic molecules, and proved in 1997 that we could store a large amount of gas for the first time in the world. We have greatly expanded the academic and industrial value of porous coordination polymers and created the pioneering field of “chemistry of coordination space”. Has won numerous international awards.
