Prof. Dr. Koichi Kakimoto from Kyushu University, Japan is one of the world's most renowned scientists in the field of crystal growth.
Koichi Kakimoto is currently a professor at three universities: Miyazaki University (since 2009), Tohoku University (since 2004), and Kyushu University (since 2003). In addition, he is director of the Research Institute of Applied Mechanics at Kyushu University and Chairman of the IOCG (International Organization for Crystal Growth). He is the author of over 350 scientific papers with H-factor 30.
He received his doctorate in engineering from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at Tokyo University. Previously, he was a researcher at the NEC Fundamental Research Laboratories (1985-1996) and guest scientists at the Université Catholique de Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium (1989-1990).
Prof. Kakimoto's research focuses on the application of magnetic fields in the growth of semiconductors, in particular Si and GaAs. His current research topics also include the development of a super high-efficiency solar cell, the development of a crystal growth process for high-purity silicon for power electronics, and the development of a low-temperature crystal growth process for a range of semiconductors.
