from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ken'ichirō Itami ( Japanese 伊丹 健 一郎 , Itami Ken'ichirō ; born April 4, 1971 ) is a Japanese chemist ( organic chemistry ).

Itami studied chemistry at the University of Kyoto from 1990 with a bachelor's degree in 1994, a master's degree in 1996 and a doctorate with Yoshihiko Ito in 1998. As a post-doctoral student , he was at Uppsala University with Jan-E in 1997/98 . Bäckvall. From 1998 he was assistant professor in Kyoto with Jun'ichi Yoshida , 2005 associate professor at Nagoya University (with Ryoji Noyori ) and 2008 full professor. In 2012 he became director of the Institute for Transformative Biomolecules (which will be funded for ten years with 70 million dollars from the WPI program in Japan). Since 2013 he has been research director of the Itami Molecular Nanocarbon Project (funded by the state research authority JST in the ERATO program).

He deals with novel synthesis methods, for example for natural products and pharmaceuticals with CH activation , synthesis of optoelectronic materials and controlled bottom-up synthesis of carbon nanotubes, graphenes and fullerenes.

He was visiting professor in Kyoto, at Wuhan University in China and in Tokyo. In 2015 he was a Cope Scholar and in 2014 he received the JSPS Prize. In 2012 he became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and received the Gottfried Wagener Prize.
