Autorenporträt

Qiang Xu is a chief senior researcher at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) and adjunct professor at Kobe University in Japan. He received his PhD in physical chemistry in 1994 from Osaka University in Japan. After working as a postdoctoral fellow at Osaka University, he became a research scientist at the Osaka National Research Institute (ONRI). Dr. Xu's research interests include porous materials and nanostructured materials and related functional applications, especially for clean energy. Tetsuhiko Kobayashi is the director general for Environment and Energy Research at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in Japan. He received his PhD in electrochemistry from Osaka University in Japan. After working as a JSPS postdoctoral fellow at Osaka University, he became a research scientist at the Government Industrial Research Institute of Osaka (GIRIO). He worked as group leader at the Osaka National Research Institute (ONRI) and as director of the Special Division for Green Life Technology, Research Institute for Ubiquitous Energy Devices, and Kansai Research Center in the AIST. He also worked as a guest professor in Kyoto, Kobe, and Osaka Universities. Dr. Kobayashi's research interests include electrochemistry, catalytic chemistry, and materials chemistry, especially for clean energy applications.
