Motoichi Ohtsu

Motoichi Ohtsu ( Japanese 大 津 元 一 , Ōtsu Motoichi; born October 1950 in Yokohama ) is a Japanese electronics engineer who specializes in nanophotonics .

Ohtsu studied electronics at the Tokyo Institute of Technology with a bachelor's degree in 1973, a master's degree in 1975 and a doctorate in 1978. In 1982 he became an associate professor at his alma mater and in 1991 a professor. 1986/87 he was in the ATT Bell Laboratories in Holmdel. He has also been one of the directors of the Photon Control project at the Kanagawa Academy of Science and Technology since 1993 and of the Localized Photon project under ERATO (Exploratory Research for Advanced Technology) of the Japan Science and Technology Corporation since 1998 . In 2004 he became a professor at the University of Tokyo.

In 2009 he received the Julius Springer Prize for Applied Physics . In 2000 he was President of the Japan Section of IEEE / LEOS and in the same year became Director of the Japan Society of Applied Physics. In 2004 he received the Imperial Medal with Purple Ribbon and in 1984 the Isaac Koga Gold Medal.
