Prof. Yuji Noguchi

Yuji Noguchi was born in 1970 in Japan. He received a bachelor’s degree, an M.S degree in electrical engineering, and a Ph.D. degree in materials science from Nagaoka University of Technology, Japan. He is an Associate Professor of the Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology at The University of Tokyo, Japan. His research interests are electronic materials, especially dielectric and ferroelectric crystals and ceramics with defect-induced functions. Associate Professor Noguchi received the Ikeda Award in 2005 (award for the outstanding paper by a Japanese young scientist published in 2005), the Young Investigator Award of the Ceramic Society of Japan, for “research on the ferroelectric characteristics of Bi-layered ferroelectrics,” and the JCerSJ (Journal of the Ceramic Society of Japan) Award for the outstanding papers or review papers, for “New intergrowth Bi₂WO₆-Bi₃TaTiO₉ ferroelectrics,” J. Ceram. Soc. Jpn., vol. 109, no. 1, pp. 29–32, and the Ferroelectrics Young Investigator award of the IEEE Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control Society in 2012, The Richard M. Fulrath Awards (The American Ceramic Society) “Enhanced properties in Bi-based ferroelectrics by defect engineering” in 2013.
