معرفی
Nobuhiro Kanomata is a Professor at the Faculty of Science and Engineering, Waseda University, where he has held positions since 2007. He earned a Doctor of Engineering from Waseda University in 1990 and completed postdoctoral work at the University of Chicago (1990-1992). His affiliations include the Waseda Research Institute for Science and Engineering and the Global Education Center.
- Education: Doctoral Program in Applied Chemistry, Waseda University (1987-1990)
- Research Institute: Waseda Research Institute for Science and Engineering (2024-2026)
Research Interests focus on synthetic organic chemistry with emphasis on planar-chiral molecules. His work spans bioorganic chemistry, structural/physical organic chemistry, and CO2 capture materials. He pioneered asymmetric cyclopropanation reactions using planar-chiral pyridinium ylides and studied crystallization-induced asymmetric transformations for stereocontrol.
His scientific awards include the Incentive Award (2002) and Banyu Award (1997) in Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Japan. His 15 most recent articles (2018-2024) explore topics like CO2-absorbing agents, planar-chiral catalysts, asymmetric pheromone synthesis, and strain-promoted click reactions. These publications demonstrate a consistent focus on stereoelectronic effects, molecular design, and environmental chemistry applications.
- Key Collaborations: RIKEN Institute (1994-2006), National Institute of Informatics (2003-2005)
- Leadership: Served on multiple committees for the Chemical Society of Japan (2002-2008)
