Masao Doi (土井正男, Doi Masao) (born 29 March 1948) is a Professor Emeritus at Nagoya University and The University of Tokyo. He is a Fellow of the Toyota Physical and Chemical Research Institute.[1] In 1976, he introduced a second quantised formalism for studying reaction-diffusion systems.[2][3] In 1978 and 1979 he wrote a series of papers with Sir Sam Edwards expanding on the concept of reptation introduced by Pierre-Gilles de Gennes in 1971.[4][5][6][7] In 1996 he authored the textbook Introduction to Polymer Physics.[8]
