报告人简介

Professor Kazuaki Ishihara received his Bachelor’s Engineering Degree in 1986, his Master’s Engineering Degree in 1988, and his Doctor’s Engineering Degree in 1991 from Nagoya University, Japan, under the supervision of Professor Hisashi Yamamoto. He studied as a three-month visiting scholar at the University of California, Berkeley in 1988 under the supervision of Professor Clayton H. Heathcock. In 1991, he moved to Harvard University, where he spent one year and three months as a postdoctoral fellow at Professor E. J. Corey’s laboratory. In 1992, he returned to Nagoya University as an Assistant Professor, and was promoted to an Associate Professor in 1997 and a Full Professor in 2002.

His research interests are in the rational design of high-performance catalysts on acid-base combination chemistry and in particular supramolecular catalysts like artificial enzymes. He has won a number of awards for this work including the 2018 CSJ Award, the 2017 Prize for Science and Technology (Research Category) in the Commendation for Science and Technology by the MEXT, the 2016 Synthetic Organic Chemistry Award, Japan, the 2015 SIS Award, the 2013 Ichimura Prizes in Technology-Contribution Prize, the 2011 Inoue Prize for Science, the 2009 Mukaiyama Award, the 2007 IBM Japan Science Prize, and the 2005 JSPS Prize.

Until now, he has published 87 patent applications, 2 books, and more than four hundred papers including papers published in top journals such as Nature, Science, J. Am. Chem. Soc., and Angew. Chem. Currently, he also serves as the member of Editorial Advisory Board of “Letters in Organic Chemistry” (Bentham Science Publishers), and the Board of Series Editors of “Topics in Current Chemistry” (Springer).
