Biography
Masayuki Gon earned his Ph.D. in Polymer Chemistry from Kyoto University in 2016 under the supervision of Prof. Yoshiki Chujo. He developed three-dimensionally-arranged π-conjugated materials and studied their specific optical and physical properties based on structure and chirality. He worked as a visiting research fellow in the group of Prof. Kenneth J. Wynne at Virginia Commonwealth University in America, in 2014. Next, he was an assistant professor of Department of Polymer Chemistry, Graduate School of Engineering, Kyoto University in 2016 in the group of Prof. Yoshiki Chujo, and now he is an assistant professor of the same institute in the group of Prof. Kazuo Tanaka since 2018. His present research theme is development of functional π-conjugated materials focused on unique nature of heteroatoms.
