Prof. Satoshi OKAMOTO
Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan

Dr. Satoshi Okamoto is Chief Research Coordinator of Corporate Office in Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. In Japan. He hold his doctorate in polymers from Tokyo Institute of Technology in June 1995, and then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Polytech University (now the State University of New York). He joined Sumitomo Chemical in April 1996 and has been consistently engaged in new development and innovation. In research and development, he succeeded in industrializing catalytic polymerization of liquid crystal polymers for the first time in the world, and while the market remained strong, he succeeded in developing a manufacturing method that satisfies both productivity and quality, and he has incorporated it into his company’s own industrial production. Afterwards, he also engaged in the development of transparent polyimide film, which was also used in Foldable Phones. In 2017, he promoted open innovation and collaborated with ventures in areas such as odor sensors, synthetic biology, carbon nanotubes etc. Since April last year, he has also been working as a specially appointed professor at Tokyo Institute of Technology and a team leader at RIKEN, while working with academia to implement quantum many-body materials in society. He has a track record of filing over 500 patent applications.
