ESUJ Lecture (in
English)
Invitation to the World
of Nano-technology
Japanese Brain Heads Advanced Technology
Society in the US
President of the International
Academy of Quantum Molecular Science
Professor, Emory University
Keiji
Morokuma
| The next in our ever-popular series
of ESUJ lectures in English will be on the astonishing
unknown world of nano-technology. Nanotechnology continues
to attract the world's attention because, as a new technology,
it holds the capacity to dramatically alter our lives
in the future, just as the computer has changed our
world these past twenty years. A nanometer is one billionth
of a meter, or one millionth of a millimeter. A leader
in nano-technology research in both America and Japan,
Professor Keiji Morokuma will provide an easy-to-understand
explanation of this field. Don't miss this opportunity
to hear him speak! |

Professor Keiji Morokuma's
career is very much "dual culture". He obtained his PhD under
Prof. Kenichi Fukui at Kyoto University in 1963. Following
postdoctoral work at Harvard and Columbia in 1964-67, he took
up a professorial position at the University of Rochester
in 1967. When the Institute for Molecular Science was established
in Okazaki, in 1977, he came back to Japan as head of its
Theoretical Department and Computer Center. In 1993, he once
more "came back", this time to the US, as William H. Emerson
Professor of Chemistry and Director of the Cherry Emerson
Center for Scientific Computation at Emory University in Atlanta,
where he still is today. His professional expertise is in
theoretical and computational chemistry, doing simulations
of catalytic, nanomaterial, and other chemical reactions.
He has received numerous awards, and presently serves as President
of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science.
