Bio:

Hisashi Yamamoto (born 1943) start his research in Hitosi Nozaki's laboratory at the Kyoto University, Japan. After obtaining his PhD under the mentorship of Elias J. Corey, he joined Toray Industries, Inc., Japan and then he became instructor and then lecturer at Kyoto University. In due course, he was professor at the University of Hawaii and at Nagoya University, Japan. Since 2002 he is Professor at the University of Chicago.
Hisashi Yamamoto's work has been widely acknowledged and honoured with several academic awards and honours (e.g. Max-Tishler Prize, 1998, Le Grand Prix de la Fondation Maison de la Chimie, 2001, Tetrahedron Chair, 2002). He is on editorial boards of several outstanding publications inclusive European Journal of Organic Chemistry and Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis.
