Soichiro Ogi received his M. Eng. from Kyushu University in 2008 under the supervision of Professor Seiji Shinkai and his Dr. Eng. from the University of Tsukuba in 2011 under the supervision of Professor Masayuki Takeuchi. His doctoral research focused on the development of synthetic molecular gears and FRET-based mechanochromic elastomers. From 2011 to 2013, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the Organic Materials Group at the National Institute for Materials Science, where he studied living supramolecular polymerization. In 2014, he joined Professor Frank Würthner’s group at the University of Würzburg as a JSPS Overseas Research Fellow, where he expanded his expertise in the supramolecular chemistry of functional dyes. He joined Nagoya University as an assistant professor in 2016, became a lecturer in 2021, and was promoted to associate professor in 2026. His research focuses on the development of functional materials based on supramolecular chemistry. By exploiting the folding and aggregation properties of amino-acid-based diamides, he has established seed-initiated supramolecular polymerization of π-conjugated molecules as a versatile strategy for constructing supramolecular architectures and materials with advanced photophysical properties. His current research encompasses the control of self-sorting behavior through seeding strategies, the tuning of photophysical properties through molecular and additive design, and the programming of supramolecular polymerization in neutral lipid environments.
