He received his Ph.D. degree in chemistry in 2001 under the supervision of Prof. Atsushi Nakajima from Keio University. Before joining Tokyo University of Science in 2008, he was employed as an assistant professor at Keio University and at the Institute for Molecular Science (IMS). His current research interests include the precise synthesis of stable and functionalized metal nanoclusters and their applications in energy and environmental materials. Yoshiki Niihori Yoshiki Niihori was born in Ibaraki, Japan, in 1986. He was a postdoctoral researcher in the Negishi group at Tokyo University of Science and is currently assistant professor at Rikkyo University. He received his B.Sc. (2009), M.Sc. (2011), and Ph.D. (2014) degrees in chemistry from Tokyo University of Science. His research interests include the development of precise synthesis methods for noble metal nanoclusters based on highperformance liquid chromatography.
