Dear Colleagues,

Tokyo Metropolitan University, Tokyo, Japan;
Prof. Kotohiro Nomura finished his undergraduate and master studies in Saitama University (1986) and University of Tokyo (1988), and joined as a research scientist in the Organic Synthesis Research Laboratory, Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. He received his Ph.D. degree in 1993 from Osaka University (by thesis submission) and spent two years as the postdoctoral fellow at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT, USA). He then returned Sumitomo and moved to Nara Institute of Science and Technology as an associate professor in 1998. He has been a full professor in Department of Chemistry, Tokyo Metropolitan University since April 2010. He has ca. 250 original papers (including more than 100 ACS publications) and ca. 100 reviews and book chapters. He received three major awards from the Chemical Society of Japan (1996, for Young Chemists in Industry), Catalysis Society of Japan (Society Awards in the industrial field (2001) and the academic field (2019)). His research focuses on the design of molecular catalysts for efficient carbon–carbon bond formation, including olefin polymerization, synthesis of advanced polymers by precision polymerization, and chemospecific organic transformations.
Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China;
Prof. Dr. Wen-Hua Sun heads a group of organometallic chemistry and catalysis at the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences since October of 1999, nowadays has also been a professor teaching at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences from 2014. Received his B.Sc. in chemistry at Lanzhou University (1986) and Ph.D at Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics (LICP, 1989/1994). He worked in LICP as Associate Professor (1993) and Hokkaido University with JSPS, COE and JST. He was selected as Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry (2011) and member of European Academy of Sciences (2017). His contributions have had international impacts across the areas of polymerization catalysts for conversional alpha-olefins and polyolefins, biodegradable polymers and bio-massive process as well as their intermediates and reaction mechanism. His group has been opened to domestic and international colleagues, those collaborations have visually recognized according his publications indicating coauthor members from various affiliations. His services in academy include editorial board members for Polymer, Molecules, Catalysts, Polyolefin Journal and General Chemistry currently.
