Major achievements

Yoshio Okamoto
Distinguished Invited University Professor and Emeritus Professor of Nagoya University, Chair Professor of Harbin Engineering University

Yoshio Okamoto received his B.Sc. (1964) under Prof. Shunsuke Murahashi and Ph.D. (1969) under Prof. Heimei Yuki from Faculty of Science, Osaka University. In 1969, he joined Faculty of Engineering Science, Osaka University as Assistant Professor and spent 2 years (1970–72) at the University of Michigan with Prof. Charles G. Overberger as a postdoctoral fellow. In 1983, he was promoted to Associate Professor, and in 1990 he moved to Nagoya University as Professor. In 2004, he retired from Nagoya University with the title of Professor Emeritus and was appointed as Guest Professor of EcoTopia Science Institute, Nagoya University until 2009. Since 2009, he has been Distinguished Invited University Professor of Nagoya University. He has also been appointed as Chair Professor of Harbin Engineering University in China since 2007. His research interests include stereocontrol in polymerization reaction, asymmetric polymerization, optically active polymers and enantioseparation by HPLC.
He has received Award of the Society of Polymer Science, Japan (1982), Chemical Society of Japan Award for Technical Development (1991), Chemical Society of Japan Award (1999), Molecular Chirality Award (1999), Chirality Medal (2001), the National Medal with Purple Ribbon (2002), Fujiwara Prize (2005), Thomson Scientific Research Front Award 2007 (2007), SPSJ Award for Outstanding Achievement in Polymer Science and Technology (2009), The Ryoji Noyori Prize (2010), Charles G. Overberger International Prize in Polymer Science (2011), The Japan Academy Prize (2014), The Japan Prize (2019) and Government Friendship Award of China (2020).
