CV / 略歴

Yuma Morimoto was born in Okayama, Japan in 1986. He conducted his Ph.D. study in Osaka University where he explored electron transfer of transition metal complexes with Prof. Shunichi Fukuzumi. During his Ph.D. study, he visited Prof. Wonwoo Nam in Ewha Womans University in Korea and Prof. James M. Mayer in University of Washington in US. Upon graduating in 2013, he joined to Prof. Itoh group as research assistant professor and promoted to assistant professor in 2017. His research is centered on investigation of environmentally benign catalyst system inspired by metalloenzymes with focus on fine understanding of electronic structures of coordination compounds.
