Prof. Keiichi Tomishige (Tohoku University Japan)
time: 2017-05-19

    Dr. Keiichi Tomishige received his B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. from Department of Chemistry, University of Tokyo. Now he is a Professor in School of Engineering, Tohoku University. His research interests are the development of heterogeneous catalysts for:

    1) production of biomass-derived chemicals,

    2) direct synthesis of organic carbonates from CO2 and alcohols,

    3) steam reforming of biomass tar, and

    4) syngas production by natural gas reforming.

    Professor Tomishige has published over 200 peer-reviewed papers (Citation = 6692, and H-index = 49, Web of Science). He is Associate Editor of Fuel Processing Technology (2014/2-), Editorial board of Applied Catalysis A (2009/4-), Editorial advisory board of ACS Catalysis (2013/11-), International Advisory Board of ChemSusChem (2015/1-) and Advisory Board of Green Chemistry (2016/8-).
