Masaki Tanemura received the Ph.D. degree from Nagoya Institute of Technology (NITech), Nagoya, Japan. Before joining NITech, he worked at Toyota Central Research and Development Laboratories, Inc., Aichi, Japan. He worked also at Bonn University, Germany, as an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow. He is currently a Professor at NITech (from 2006), and Deputy Head of the Department of Physical Science and Engineering (from 2019). He was a director of Instrument and Research Technology Center (from 2011 to 2016), a director of Multi-Energy Innovation Center at NITech (from 2013 to 2019), and Special Adviser to the NITech President for Regional Partnership in Asia (from 2016 to 2019).
His recent research activities include the synthesis of graphene and the low-temperature fabrication of one-dimensional nanomaterials, especially the room-temperature growth of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) based on the ion-solid interactions, and their characterization using TEM (transmission electron microscope). His interest is also devoted to their applications. In fact, he has commercialized the CNF probes for atomic force microscope. These achievements are published as ~300 papers in international journals, 9 book chapters, and 18 granted patents including 5 US granted patents. He was awarded the Encouragement Award from the Japan Institute of Invention and Innovation (November 2013) and received the Prizes for Science and Technology (Research Category) in the Commendation for Science and Technology by the Minister of MEXT in 2019.
