Takeo Sasaki is a professor at the Department of Chemistry, Tokyo University
of Science since 2000. He received his doctorate from the Tokyo Institute
of Technology in 1994. He conducts research on photorefractive liquid crystals
and photopolymers. He received the SPSJ Wiley Award (2004) from the Society
of Polymer Science, Japan and Senior Membership of SPIE (2016).
Takeo Sasaki is currently a director of the Research Committee on Organic
Materials for Information Technology of the Japan Society for Promotion
of Science (JSPS).
His current research interests include the photorefractive effects of organic
materials and the synthesis of novel liquid crystalline materials.
