Biography

Biography: Takao Mori received his PhD at the University of Tokyo, Dept. of Physics. He is a Field Director at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) in Japan. He is also a Professor of the University of Tsukuba, Graduate School, and elected Board Member of the International Thermoelectric Society (ITS), elected President of ITS from July 2023. Mori’s research interests are, broadly speaking, to find ways to control structures and properties of inorganic materials. He is especially involved now in development of thermoelectric materials and multidisciplinary enhancement principles, such as utilizing magnetism, in order to find new routes to achieve high control over band structures and electrical and thermal transport. Mori is a Senior Editor of Materials Today Physics and Associate Editor of Materials for Renewable and Sustainable Energy, an Editorial or Advisory Board Member of Journal of Solid State Chemistry, Advances in Applied Ceramics, Journal of Materiomics, Joule. He is a Program Manager of Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) Mirai Large-scale Program. Mori has published over 350 journal papers, 25 book chapters, and 35 patents.
