CV

Naoya Suzuki graduated from Nagoya University in 2013 and received his Ph.D. in Science from Nagoya University under the supervision of Prof. Shigehiro Yamaguchi in 2018. From 2018 to 2020, he conducted postdoctoral research as a JSPS research fellow in the group of Prof. Kazuo Takimiya at RIKEN. Following this, he was appointed as an Assistant Professor at Osaka Prefecture (Metropolitan) University (Department of Applied Chemistry, Graduate School of Engineering). In 2025, he joined Prof. Masayasu Taki's group at the Institute for Glyco-core Research (iGCORE), Gifu University.
His research field is organic chemistry, particularly in functional organic dyes.He has developed several fluorescent organic dyes based on original molecular designs, and these dyes exhibited specific photophysical properties sucu as ESIPT, TICT, and NIR-fluorescence.
