Bunsho Ohtani

Japan

The research work on photocatalysis by Professor Ohtani started in 1981 when he was a Ph. D. course student in Kyoto University.  Since then he has been studying photocatalysis and related topics for more than 30 years and published more than 300 original papers (h-index: 72) and two single-author books.  After gaining his Ph. D. degree from Kyoto University in 1985, he became an assistant professor in the university.  In 1996, he was promoted to an associate professor in Graduate School of Science, Hokkaido University and was then awarded a full professor position in Institute for Catalysis, Hokkaido University in 1998
