Kazuki Nakanishi, born in 1961, joined the inorganic chemistry group at Faculty of Engineering, Kyoto University in 1986 as a research associate, where he started his first works on sol-gel synthesis of inorganic materials. He encountered the phase separation of gelling silica system in August 1987, and has been enchanted by her for over twenty years. He received his Doctor of Engineering degree from Kyoto University in 1991. He started developing novel HPLC columns using his monolithic silica with controlled macro- and mesopores in 1993. The commercialization of the columns was achieved in collaboration with Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany. The first monolithic silica HPLC column was released worldwide in October 2000, and it received the Gold Award of Pittsburgh Conference in 2001. During the above period, he was promoted to associate professor in 1995, received D.R. Ulrich Prize in 1997 and ICG Prize in Memory of Prof. Vittorio Gottardi in 1999. He stayed in Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany as a visiting professor invited by Prof. Klaus Unger in autumn 2000. He moved to Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University in 2005 where he continues extending his activity on sol-gel derived porous materials. He was awarded Academic Prize of the Ceramic Society of Japan in 2006. Kazuki Nakanishi is the author of >170 publications with >4000 total citations, >40 Japanese and International patents, and the co-author of 18 books. He is the member of the American Ceramic Society, Materials Research Society, Editorial Board of Journal of Sol-Gel Science & Technology, Board Members of International and Japanese Sol-Gel Societies, and several other Japanese societies related to materials and analytical chemistry. |
