Professor Kubozono has been involved in solid-state chemistry for many
years and has achieved world-renowned research results. In particular,
he has made outstanding achievements in superconductivity research of
new carbon materials such as fullerenes and in organic transistor
research. His research paper on "superconductivity in alkali-metal doped
picene" was published in the scientific journal, Nature.
Recently, he has been actively engaged in research on superconductivity
and transistors using carbon-based and inorganic two-dimensional
layered materials, and he is also actively researching superconductive
properties under high pressure conditions. In addition, he has taken
office as the first director of the Research Institute for
Interdisciplinary Science, which was established in 2016, and has
expertly managed the institute’s operation. The institute has a large
number of faculty members who have made impressive global contributions
and is actively engaged in research activities with graduate students
from all over the world.
Upon receiving the award, Professor Kubozono said, "This award is thanks
to Okayama University, colleagues, and various research collaborators
around the world. Moving forward, I would like to practically implement
my research results to stimulate the development of regional industries.
Additionally, I want to do my best to make Okayama a global hub for
education and research.”
