Prof. Aida was born in 1956 in Oita (Japan). He received the Ph.D. in Polymer Chemistry at the University of Tokyo in 1984, being awarded the Inoue Research Award for Young Scientists for research on precision macromolecular synthesis based on metalloporphyrin complexes. After being appointed as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Synthetic Chemistry at the University of Tokyo, he was visiting researcher at the IBM Almaden Research Center. He became Associate Professor in 1991 and Full Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biotechnology at the University of Tokyo in 1996. Prof. Aida also served as a researcher in the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) and he was appointed as visiting Professor at the Institute for Molecular Science in Okazaki. He is currently the Deputy Director for the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science (CEMS) and Distinguished University Professor at the University of Tokyo. Prof. Aida is recognized for his pioneering contribution in the field of Supramolecular Chemistry, combining basic knowledges of Organic Chemistry with Macromolecular Science, Photochemistry and Electrochemistry. Besides his fundamental contributions to the understanding of supramolecular systems, he has promoted their widespread use by developing materials for a variety of applications, ranging from optoelectronics to catalysis, bio-related molecular recognition and production of environmentally friendly organic materials.
