Materials Informatics and Catalysts Informatics: An Introduction

Keisuke Takahashi is a full professor at the Department of Chemistry at Hokkaido University in Japan. He has earned a B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Arizona, followed by an M.S. at Chalmers University of Technology and a Ph.D. at Hokkaido University. He is the principal investigator of the Information Chemistry group at Hokkaido University where he conducts research in materials and catalyst informatics. His group performs experiment, theory, computation, and data science for designing heterogeneous catalysis, water splitting, artificial photosynthesis, CO2 reduction, perovskite solar cells, and 2-dimensional materials. His research interests are focused on designing catalysts and materials via materials and catalysts informatics.

Lauren Takahashi is an assistant professor at the Department of Chemistry at Hokkaido University in Japan. She is also a member of the Information Chemistry group with Professor Takahashi where she applies ontology and data science towards material design and catalyst-centered research. She has earned a B.A. in Linguistics at the University of Arizona, an M.S. in Communication at the University of Gothenburg, and a Ph.D. in Chemical Systems Engineering at The University of Tokyo. Her research interests focus on improving the structure, usability, and semantics of materials and catalyst data through tactical applications of ontology, data science, machine learning, graph theory, and information science, with the aim of improving the materials and catalysts design process.

高橋圭介是日本北海道大學化學系的正教授。他在亞利桑那大學獲得材料科學和工程學士學位，之後在查爾默斯理工大學獲得碩士學位，並在北海道大學獲得博士學位。他是北海道大學信息化學研究小組的首席調查員，該小組在材料和催化劑信息學方面進行研究。他的小組通過實驗、理論、計算和數據科學來設計異質催化、水分解、人工光合作用、二氧化碳還原、鈣鈦礦太陽能電池和二維材料。他的研究興趣集中在通過材料和催化劑信息學設計催化劑和材料。

Lauren Takahashi是日本北海道大學化學系的助理教授。她也是高橋教授的信息化學研究小組的成員，她應用本體論和數據科學來進行材料設計和以催化劑為中心的研究。她在亞利桑那大學獲得語言學學士學位，在哥德堡大學獲得傳播學碩士學位，並在東京大學獲得化學系統工程博士學位。她的研究興趣集中在通過本體論、數據科學、機器學習、圖論和信息科學的戰術應用來改善材料和催化劑數據的結構、可用性和語義，以改進材料和催化劑的設計過程。
