Prof. Tomohiro Hayashi

Prof. Dr. Tomohiro Hayashi currently works at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, School of Materials and Chemical Technology, Japan. He completed his Bachelor's degree at Waseda University in 1997. Then, he graduated with a Masters from the University of Tsukuba in 2000. Tomohiro received his PhD from Ruprecht–Karls Universität Heidelberg, Germany in 2003. He worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Tokyo TECH; then, he worked as a Permanent Researcher at AIST in Tsukuba (2006). He has been awarded 11 awards (Asahi Kasei Award (2011), JSPS Young Researchers’ Award (2018), Tokyo TECH Education Award (2019), Fellow of The Japan Society of Vacuum and Surface Science (2023), etc.). His recent focus in science is on the development of surface and interfacial analytical techniques to explore biointerfaces (i.e., atomic force microscopy combined with laser spectroscopy and high-speed signal processing spectroscopy), single-molecule dynamic force measurements, and materials informatics for the design of biomaterials.
