Yukihiro Ozaki

Yukihiro Ozaki （born October 19, 1949） is a Japanese scientist. Kwansei Gakuin University, Department of Chemistry, School of Science and Technology, professor.
He was born in Sakai, Osaka, Japan. In 1973, He had B.Sc. in Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Osaka University. In 1978, he had PhD in Physical and Inorganic Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Osaka University. He worked as a research associate (Fixed-term) in Division of Biological Sciences, National Research Council of Canada. In 1981, he became an instructor in Division of Biochemistry, Institute of Medical Science, The Jikei University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan and became an assistant professor there. From 1989 he started working as an associate professor in Department of Chemistry, School of Science, Kwansei Gakuin University, Nishinomiya, Japan. And he became a professor there in 1993. Because of the government reorganization, he was a professor in Department of Chemistry, School of Science and Technology, Kwansei Gakuin University from 2001. He was a dean of the School of Science and Technology, Kwansei Gakuin University from 2006 to 2010 and now he is a vice president, Kwansei Gakuin Educational Foundation from 2013. He is also the president of The Spectroscopical Society of Japan (SPSJ)
He is a researcher in physical chemistry whose principal research interests are physical chemistry, molecule chemistry, and analytical chemistry, which utilizes various spectroscopies for example, IR, Raman, NIR and FUV. He has been making lots of achievements which would be a bridge between the basis and the application, not remaining in the basic research. From 1999 to 2015, for 17 years in a row, he published more than 30 manuscripts in a year and his publications are now more than 1,000. In the 6 years, from 2010 to 2015, his papers have been cited more than 1,200 times in each years, and his citation index totals more than 16,000 so far.
