Dr. Hiroshi Masuhara graduated from Tohoku
University (1966) in Sendai and obtained Ph.D. degreefrom Osaka University (1971). He is a physical chemist
working in multidisciplinary areas in departments ofchemistry (Tohoku University), synthetic chemistry(Osaka University), polymer science and engineering(Kyoto Institute of Technology), applied physics(Osaka University), frontier bioscience (OsakaUniversity), life science (Hamano Foundation), andmaterials science (Nara Institute of Science andTechnology). In 2008 he joined Department of AppliedChemistry of National Yang Ming Chiao Tung
University as Chair Professor. In Laser Bio/Nano
Science Laboratory he extended seminal researches on(1) laser trapping dynamics of nanoparticles, (2) laser
trapping crystallization of molecules and proteins, and(3) application of femtosecond laser for fabricating
individual cell-based devices.
