Chemical Society of Japan Creative Award
This award is one of the most prestigious academic awards given by the Chemical Society of Japan, and is awarded to researchers who have made outstanding research achievements in the field of chemistry.
Explanation about the award
Awarded title “Green Catalytic Processes Based on Integrated Theory of Thermal-, Electro-, and Photo-catalysis”. This research pioneers a new era of sustainable chemical processes by integrating thermal catalysis, electrocatalysis, and photocatalysis—surpassing the limitations of conventional solid catalytic technologies. By harnessing these synergistic approaches, this research unlocks low-energy, high-efficiency chemical transformations, accelerating the path toward carbon neutrality and a greener future for chemistry.
Your impression & future plan
I am very honored to receive this wonderful award. I am very happy to know that what I have been researching so far has not been mistaken and has been recognized. I will continue to work vigorously to contribute to the establishment of the GX processes.
