Biography

Morizawa spent one year in a laboratory of late professor H. G. Viehe at Universite Catholique de Louvain in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, during the period of the doctoral course, and undertook a PhD in industrial chemistry at Kyoto University (JAPAN) in 1984 under the guidance of professor emeritus Hitosi Nozaki. Immediately, he found a job in Asahi Glass Co., Ltd. He has been engaged in the development of fluorinated organic compounds in the field of specialty chemicals, especially pharmaceutical drugs, agrochemical agents, intermediates, fluoropolymers, fluorination methods, and their processes. Since 2009, he has been Fellow of Research Center. He has published more than 60 papers in journals and filed a patent of more than 140.
