Prof Tomohiko Saitoh

Tomohiko Saitoh is a professor of the Department of Applied Physics, Tokyo University of Science in Japan. He earned his Ph.D. in condensed matter physics from the University of Tokyo in 1996. After a postdoctoral position at the University of Colorado at Boulder, he became a beamline scientist at the Photon Factory, and then moved to the current university. He received several honors/awards including an Outstanding Referee of APS in 2014. He has long been working on photoelectron spectroscopy and also first-principles band-structure calculations. His research interests are the electronic structure and magnetism of solid-state compounds, particularly strongly correlated systems and functional materials such as 3d transition-metal oxides or transparent conductive oxides.
