Schweitzer Klassifikation
Seiichi Uchiyama has been an Assistant Professor at the University of Tokyo since 2005. After receiving his academic degrees in Pharmacy from the University of Tokyo with Prof. Kazuhiro Imai he spent three years as a postdoctoral researcher at Nara Women's University with Prof. Kaoru Iwai and at Queen's University of Belfast with Prof. A. Prasanna de Silva. After returning to the University of Tokyo in 2005, he started his career as an experimental researcher and continues to work as an independent leader of scientific projects funded by the Japanese government. His scientific interests include analytical and photophysical chemistry and the development of fluorescent sensors based on novel functional mechanisms.
