The 24th Yamazaki Teiichi Award Presentation Ceremony
Professor Shinichi Okoshi, Associate Professor Asuka Ikai, and Assistant Professor Marie Yoshikiyo of the Department of Chemistry have jointly received the Yamazaki Teiichi Prize from the Foundation for Promotion of Materials Science and Technology.
This prestigious award, named after the late Teiichi Yamazaki, the first Executive Vice President of the Foundation for Promotion of Materials Science and Technology, is given to researchers who have made outstanding achievements leading to practical applications through publications, patents, and the development of methods and technologies. Past recipients include Akira Yoshino (2011, Materials Science) and Shinya Yamanaka (2008, Biotechnology and Medical Science), and Hideki Shirakawa served as the first selection committee chairman.
The title of the prize awarded to Professor Okoshi and three others is "Development and Application of Epsilon Iron Oxide Magnets. Although epsilon iron oxide has an extremely simple composition consisting of oxygen and iron, Professor Okoshi and his colleagues have derived from it a mellow science with huge coercive force, nanoparticulation, and millimeter wave absorption properties, and it is especially valued as an important material for the Beyond 5G and IoT era. This achievement is worthy of the award named after the late Teiichi Yamazaki, the second president of Tokyo Denki Kagaku Kogyo K.K. (the predecessor of TDK), who pioneered the commercialization of ferrite and its applied products. The presentation ceremony and celebration were held at the Japan Academy on November 27 in the presence of Dr. Takeshi Sasaki, President of the Japan Academy.
We congratulate Professor Okoshi, Associate Professor Ikai, and Assistant Professor Yoshikiyo on their outstanding achievements and awards, and wish them continued success in their future endeavors.
