Hiro-o Hamaguchi

Hiro-o Hamaguchi is Life Chair Professor at the Department of Applied Chemistry, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taiwan. His recent research efforts are directed toward the elucidation of complex molecular systems including solutions and liquids, ionic liquids, and also living cells and human organs, using time-and space-resolved vibrational spectroscopy. He is the author of over 300 scientific papers in the field of physical chemistry and molecular spectroscopy. His professional services include associate editors/editorial advisory members of eight international journals, chairs of five international conferences, President of the Spectroscopical Society of Japan, President of the Japan Society of Medical Spectroscopy. He received the Meggers Award (2005), the Spectroscopical Society of Japan Award (2006), Chemical Society of Japan Award (2009), TRVS Award (2009), Medal with purple ribbon from the Emperor of Japan (2012), and most recently, The order of the sacred treasure, gold rays with neck ribbon from the Emperor of Japan (2020). He was a Carl Zeiss Visiting Professor (2013) and a Mizushima-Raman Lecturer (2014). He is a Fellow of the Society of Applied Spectroscopy.
