Katsuya Inoue was born in Saga prefecture, Japan, in 1964. He has been a professor in Hiroshima University since 2004 and specializes in the molecules' properties with a particular focus on chirality and magnetism. He has conducted his interdisciplinary studies through the lens of chemistry and physics. Throughout his career, Inoue has achieved numerous publications and has advocated for international research collaborations. Inoue has been awarded a Distinguished Professor at Hiroshima University's Graduate School of Science in 2015.[1][2]

Biography

edit

Inoue graduated with a doctoral degree from the Department of Chemistry, Graduate School, Division of Science, The University of Tokyo in 1993[3].[citation needed] He accepted a position as a JSPS fellow from 1992 to 1994 before joining the Institute for Molecular Science (IMS) as an Associate Professor[4][5] in 1994. His career at Okazaki National Institutes provoked an interest in studying multifunctional magnets, and he expanded his research to cover the study of materials, which simultaneously entails the qualifications of magnetism and the electricity field.[6] From 2004 to the present, he has held the position of Professor at Hiroshima University. During his time at Hiroshima University, he has simultaneously worked as Deputy Director of Education at Sustainability with Knotted Chiral Meta Matter (SKCM2),[7] Hiroshima University since 2014. Inoue has been awarded a Distinguished Professor at Hiroshima University's Graduate School of Science.[8][9][10]

Throughout his career, Inoue has initiated collaborations and networks with international researchers[2].[citation needed] He has also held positions of Visiting Professor at the Department of Chemistry, University of Lyon I from October 2009-September 2020, the Department of Chemistry, the University of Rennes I from Jul 2011 - Aug 2011, and Open University of Japan in April 2013, respectively.[11]

Research activities

edit

According to Inoue's interview with Hiroshima University, chirality and magnetism were previously considered completely different fields of study. Considering the potentials to embark on the correlation between two disciplines, Inoue and his research team embarked on[according to whom?] a research that combines both chirality and magnetism concepts.[2]

In 2005, he co-authored an article published in "Progress of Theoretical Physics Supplement[12]" journal. He attributed this achievement to his research journey in the field of chiral magnetism. Chirality and magnetism later became his major research themes.[13]

The other novel achievement of his is when he worked in an international laboratory in Scotland in the University of Glasgow in 2011. His research team developed a technology called Lorentz Transmission Electron Microscopy to capture magnetic domains. [dubiousdiscuss] The quality of the pictures was detailed enough for the researchers to interpret the direction of an electron's spin.[14]

Inoue is still actively engaged in the academic community. He is positive that his recent research on chiral molecules will result in alternative ways of transmitting information within computer processors. In addition, he foresees the capacity of computers to be operationalized through magnetic instead of electric signals.[original research?]
