Biography
Toshikazu Miyoshi is a NMR spectroscopist of polymers. Prior to joining The University of Akron in 2010, he spent almost ten years as a researcher at National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Japan. His undergraduate degrees are in Polymer Science (Univ. of Hokkaido); his graduate degrees are in Chemistry from Kyoto University; and his postdoctoral research was in the study of NMR spectroscopy for fluoropolymers at the Institute of Polymer Research, Dresden, Germany.
Research
Miyoshi’s research interests include development of new tools for characterization of polymer structure and dynamics using solid-state NMR spectroscopy, structure and dynamics of glassy and semicrystalline polymers, block-copolymers, supramolecules, biomolecules, nanomaterials and carbon fibers.
