Prof. Yoshiki Chujo

Professor Emeritus, Kyoto University, Japan

Yoshiki Chujo completed his Ph.D. at Kyoto University in 1980 and then joined Nagoya University as an Assistant Professor in 1981. In 1986, he returned to Kyoto University as a Lecturer, and was promoted as a Professor of Polymer Chemistry there since 1994. His research interests focus on polymer synthesis, inorganic polymers, and polymeric hybrid materials. Prof. Chujo has been working as a Project Leader of the MEXT Scientific Research on Innovative Areas "New Polymeric Materials Based on Element-Blocks", Japan during 2012-2017. He has retired from Kyoto University in 2018, and now is a Professor Emeritus of Kyoto University, together with a Guest Professor of Ritsumeikan University, and a Commission Professor of Doshisha University, Japan.
