Short Biography: Prof. Tetsuo Iwasawa was born in Osaka, Japan, receiving his B.S. and M.S. degrees in chemistry from Kyoto University and Ph.D. from Hokkaido University, on the topic of poly-arene ligand synthesis for organometallic chemistry. Between 2005 and 2007 he performed postdoctoral research at the Scripps Research Institute (La Jolla, CA, USA) with Prof. Julius Rebek on the subject of trapping the transient reaction intermediate by a synthetic receptor. Since the spring of 2009 he has been a principal investigator at Ryukoku University (Shiga, Japan), publishing widely in the areas of supramolecular chemistry, reaction development and organic materials. His current focus is on cavitand-driven catalysis and dibenzo[g,p]chrysene-based materials.
All lectures are open to the public.
