Takeshi Ohkuma studied chemistry at Keio University, and completed his M.Sc. under the supervision of the late Professor Gen-ichi Tsuchihashi. He then moved to Nagoya University to join Professor Noyori\u2019s research group and worked in the field of molecular catalysis. After obtaining his Ph.D. in 1991, he worked with Professor Paul A. Wender at Stanford University until 1992. In the same year, he joined the ERATO Noyori Molecular Catalysis Project. In 1996, he became an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Nagoya University, and then was promoted to Professor in the Faculty of Engineering at Hokkaido University in 2004. He was installed as director of the Frontier Chemistry Center at Hokkaido University (concurrent post) in 2013. His research focuses on the development of novel catalytic reactions that achieve high levels of reactivity and selectivity. Professor Ohkuma received the Progress Award in Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Japan, in 1997; the N.E. ChemCat Award in Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Japan, in 1999; the JSPS Prize (from Japan Society for the Promotion of Science) in 2007; and the Japan Chemical Society Award for Creative Work in 2018.<\/p>\n
