Junichi Hojo received his Ph.D. in engineering from Kyushu University (Japan) in 1980. He became a professor there in 1994 and emeritus professor in 2013. From 2006 to 2010 he was Vice-President of the Ceramic Society of Japan and was Editor of Materials Letters (Elsevier) from 2006 to the present. Prof. Hojo served on the Advisory Board of the World Academy of Ceramics from 2010 to 2014, was a Fellow of the American Ceramic Society in 2010, and Vice-President of the Japan Society of Powder and Powder Metallurgy from 2014 to 2016. His major research work is in the design of ceramics nanoparticles and their functions, and the precise control of sintered microstructures.
