Biography:
Dr. Ishihara studied chemistry at Nagoya University, Japan and graduated as BEng in 1986, MEng in 1988, and DEng 1991, under supervision of Prof. H. Yamamoto. He then joined the research group of Prof. E. J. Corey at Harvard University, USA, as a postdoctoral fellow. He obtained the position of an assistant professor of Nagoya University in 1992, and then promoted an associate professor in 1997 and a full professor of Nagoya University in 2002. His research interests are synthetic organic chemistry, design of acid–base combined catalysts, halogen chemistry, asymmetric catalysis, Green & sustainable chemistry, design of supramolecular catalysts, etc.
