Toshiyuki HamuraToshiyuki Hamura was born in 1972 in Kanagawa, Japan. He studied new synthetic methods by using novel strained molecules under the guidance of Prof. Keisuke Suzuki at Keio University (1995–1998) and Tokyo Institute of Technology (1998–2000). Then he irectly became an assistant professor of Tokyo Institute of Technology (2000–2008). From 2007-2011, he pursued build-up syntheses of novel π-conjugated molecules as a PRESTO researcher of the Japan Science and Technology Agency. In 2008, he became an associate professor of Kwansei Gakuin University, and a full professor in 2013. His research interests center on the development of new reactive intermediate for construction of highly condensed aromatic compounds and structurally attractive molecules, and their application to organic electronics materials.
