معرفی
Tomonari Dotera is a Professor at the Department of Science, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Kinki University. He holds a Doctor of Science from the University of Tokyo and has held academic positions at Kyoto University (Associate Professor), The Open University of Japan (Associate Professor), and the University of Tokyo (Research Associate). His research focuses on quasicrystals, soft matter physics, and condensed matter theory, with emphasis on quasiperiodic tiling, minimal surfaces (e.g., gyroids), and self-assembly phenomena. He has received the 2007 Journal of Polymer Science Part B Prize for his contributions to polymer physics. His work spans interdisciplinary projects involving computational modeling and the design of novel materials. Dotera has led multiple JSPS grants exploring quasicrystals, soft matter, and structural physics.
- Education: Doctor of Science, University of Tokyo (1979-1989)
- Research Interests: Quasicrystals, soft matter, self-assembly, minimal surfaces, polymer structures, photonic crystals, and computer simulations.
His research highlights include theoretical studies of bronze-mean quasicrystals, programmable nanoparticle assemblies, and structural analyses of triply periodic minimal surfaces.
