Postdoctoral fellow, Department of Chemistry, University of Kansas, USA. In 2000, he worked with Professor Daryle H. Busch, President of the American Chemical Society, on the application research of liquid crystal in advanced optoelectronic devices funded by the US Air Force Research Fund, and on the application research of new closely combined photosensitive molecular materials in the separation technology of precious metal elements in nuclear reactors funded by the US Department of Energy.
Technical university of munich, Germany, Department of Inorganic and Applied Chemistry, Humboldt Scholar of alexander von humboldt Foundation, Germany, cooperated with Professor Wolfgang A. Herman, winner of Leibniz Prize and president of technical university of munich, to study molecular rods/molecular wires and their nonlinear optical properties.
Professor Tatsumi Hezhi, a long-term special researcher of JSPS in the International Materials Science Research Center of Nagoya University, and President of IUPAC of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, is engaged in the study of transition metal functional clusters and supramolecules.
He was appointed research professor of Australian National University (Grade E), director of China-Australia International Joint Research Center for Functional Molecular Materials (funded by China's Ministry of Science and Technology and Australia's Department of Innovation, Industry and Scientific Research), and director of National International Joint Research Center for Photoresponsive Functional Materials, distinguished professor.
