Masayoshi Nakano was born on January 16, 1964 in Osaka, Japan and has obtained an M. Eng. in 1988 and Ph.D. in 1991 in Chemical Engineering at Osaka University (supervised by Professor Takayuki Fueno). The subject of his Ph.D. thesis was “Theoretical Studies on the Nonlinear-Optical Properties of Organic Substances”. He stayed in the laboratory of Professor Keiichiro Nasu at the Institute for Molecular Science (IMS) as JSPS Research Fellow. In 1992, he served as a research associate, in 2000 a lecturer, and in 2002 an associate professor, under the direction of Professor Kizashi Yamaguchi in Department of Chemistry, Osaka University. In 1998, he received the 47th Young Scientist Award from the Chemical Society of Japan for “Development of nonperturbative calculation method and hyperpolarizability density analysis, and molecular design of novel nonlinear optical compounds”. Since 2005, he is Professor of Department of Materials Engineering Science, Osaka University. His research interests are quantum chemical study on the electronic states of open-shell molecular systems as well as their nonlinear optical properties, exciton dynamics of super/supramolecular systems, and coheremt/incoherent dynamics of atomic/molecular systems under external electric field using dissipative quantum mechanics. He received the “Research Excellence Award” from the European Society of Computational Methods in Science and Engineering (ESCMSE) in 2007. He has published over 350 original papers.
