Biography

Yoshiro Kaneko, born in 1972, received his Doctor of Engineering degree under the guidance of Prof. J. Kadokawa and Prof. H. Tagaya at Yamagata University (Japan) in 2001. From 2001 to 2002, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow in Prof. T. Endo’s group at Yamagata University. From 2002 to 2004, he worked in Dr. N. Iyi’s group at National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) (Japan), supported by a Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) fellowship. From 2004 to 2010, he worked as an assistant professor in Prof. J. Kadokawa’s group at Kagoshima University (Japan). He served as an associate professor at Kagoshima University from 2010 to 2026, and has been a professor at Kagoshima University since April 2026. His present research focuses on the preparation of regularly structured silsesquioxanes and organic–inorganic hybrid materials, as well as the development of functional materials such as CO₂ separation membranes, antifogging hard coatings, adhesives, and heat-resistant polymers.
