【Awards】Prof. Ken-ichi Shimizu (Catalyst Material Research Div.) won The Chemical Society of Japan Award for Creative Work for 2023. Congratulations! 👏chemistry.or.jp/en/news/2023/2…

Our recent work has finally been out from Nature Communications! I really appreciate every collaborator, especially Prof. Taketsugu and Dr. Saita under MANABIYA program of Hokkaido University ICReDD for learning the methods. nature.com/articles/s4146… Shimizu lab.@Hokkaido Univ. Takashi Toyao

Very pleased to have Evgeny Pidko as a visiting professor from TU Delft
Looking forward to learning a lot and advancing our collaborations! Shimizu lab.@Hokkaido Univ. Institute for Catalysis (ICAT) / 北海道大学触媒科学研究所 Hokkaido University

We had the softball game for department of Applied Chemistry. Although we lost a close match against a joint team from a chemical engineering research institute, we showed the results of our practice and put up a great fight!!!

Dr. Shunsaku Yasumura has moved to the University of Tokyo as an assistant professor. He made significant contributions to the Shimizu Lab, including the paper retweeted before this one. We look forward to his future achievements!!

This article by Shimizu lab.@Hokkaido Univ. at Institute for Catalysis (ICAT) / 北海道大学触媒科学研究所 北海道大学 reports the development of an optimized Pd-loaded CHA zeolite with an improved ability to reduce NOx emissions in diesel engines. Read this #openaccess article here:

The graduation ceremony was held at Hokkaido University. Thank you for your great contribution. Wish you all the best for your future!

Our recent work is out from PCCP!! This work demonstrated an automated reaction route mapping was very powerful for elucidating reaction mechanisms in zeolite cages. Others are coming soon! doi.org/10.1039/d2cp04…

1st full snow day this year in Sapporo.
More to come on this weekend😅

Delighted to attend Catalysis Society of Japan fall meeting this week.
It was an excellent week of science and a great opportunity to meet awesome colleagues with local sake in Toyama.
Looking forward to hosting you next year in Sapporo.

We celebrated our professor’s birthday🎂
Omedeto!!

Prof. Zen Maeno attended a ceremony to receive memorials for 'CATSJ Award for Young Researchers' in CATSJ meeting. Also, He's going to move to Kogakuin Univ. as an Assoc. Prof. We gave message cards to say thank you. We all appreciate his contribution and hope great success!!

Our master student, Shinta Miyazaki, received 'Otsuka award', which is given for an outstanding master thesis. He will continue the excellent research as a Ph.D. candidate in our group. Well deserved!

Graduation ceremony was held at Hokkaido university Thank you for your great contribution. Wish you all the best for your future!!

Amazing work !
