Biography
Atsushi Takano was born in Nagaoka city, Niigata prefecture, Japan in 1963. He received his B.S. degree in 1985 from Nagaoka Technological University and Ph.D. degree in 1991 from Tokyo Institute of Technology. After joining Professor Yoshinobu Isono’s group as a research associate in Nagaoka Technological University for eight years, he moved to Nagoya University in 1999 (Professor Yushu Matsushita’s group) where he started his career as a polymer scientist in the field of polymer physics. He was promoted to associate professor in 2005 at the same university. Present research interests are (1) solution- and bulk properties of cyclic polymers and their derivatives, and (2) morphology control of block copolymers. He is author and coauthor of c.a.70 original papers, and c.a. 10 patents.
