Shigeru Yamago received his B.S. and Ph.D. in chemistry from the Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1986 and 1991, respectively, under the supervision of Professor Eiichi Nakamura. During that time, he joined Professor Peter Vollhardt's group at the University of California at Berkeley as a summer student (1988). He became an assistant professor at the same institute in 1991, moved to Kyoto University in 1995, Osaka City University in 2003 as full professor, and to the current position in 2006. He was a visiting scientist in Dr. Chryssostomos Chatgilialoglu's group at Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche in Bologna (2000). He was a research fellow of the Precursory Research for Embryonic Science and Technology (PRESTO) program in Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) from 2002 to 2006. Now he is a principal investigator of Core Research for Evolutional Science and Technology (CREST) program in JST from 2010. He received the Incentive Award in Synthetic Organic Chemistry from the Society of Synthetic Organic Chemistry (Japan) in 2001, the Chemical Society of Japan Award for CreativeWork in 2010, the Asian Core Program Lectureship Award from Singapore in 2010, the DIC Functional Materials Award from SSOCJ in 2012, the Ichimura Academic Award in 2012, the Technical Development Award from the Adhesion Society of Japan in 2013, and Prizes for Science and Technology by the Commendation for Science and Technology by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) in 2015. His research interests include the development of new and efficient synthetic methodologies based on the control of reactive intermediates and their applications to the design of new organic materials.
