Kohsuke Mori received his PhD degree from the Graduate School of Engineering Science at Osaka University under the supervision of Prof. K. Kaneda in 2003. In 2003–2005, he was a research fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) for Young Scientists. In 2004, he joined Prof. T. Don, Tilley’s group at University of California, Berkeley as a postdoctoral fellow. He moved to current faculty in 2005 and then became an associate professor in 2009.
His current research interests focus on metal and alloy nanoparticle catalysts to establish clean and environmentally-friendly hydrogen storage/release processes, hybrid photocatalysts based on visible-light-responsible metal complexes, and automobile catalysts.
Dr. Mori was awarded the PCCP Prize for outstanding achievement of young scientists (2010), the young researchers’ awards in the Catalysis Society of Japan (2012) and the Japan Petroleum Institute (2010), and Meritorious Award in Japan Institute of Metals and Materials (2017).
