Biography

Dr. Jun Takaya received his PhD from Tokyo Institute of Technology under the direction of Prof. Nobuharu Iwasawa (2004). After a JSPS postdoctoral period (2004-05) working with Prof. John F. Hartwig at Yale University, he was appointed to an Assistant Professor of the research group of Prof. Nobuharu Iwasawa at Tokyo Institute of Technology in 2005, and promoted to Associate Professor in 2014. In 2024, he moved to Osaka university as a full professor. He was working as a researcher of PRESTO, JST from 2017 to 2020. He received Incentive Award in Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Japan in 2013, Merck-Banyu Lectureship Award in 2014, Thieme Chemistry Journal Award 2015, The Young Scientist’s Prize in 2016, and SSOCJ Tosoh Award for Environment and Energy 2024. His research interests are on the development of new transition metal catalysts and reactive species to achieve new molecular transformations in synthetic organic chemistry.
