Keigo Suzuki

Keigo Suzuki is a Principal Researcher in Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Japan. He received the Bachelor of Engineering degree in 1997 and the Master of Engineering degree in 1999 in Materials Science from the University of Tokyo. He joined Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in 1999 and started his original research in the field of functional nanoparticles. From 2001 to 2006, he was engaged in researching the fabrication and characterization of barium titanate nanoparticles using the plasma process in collaboration with the Kyoto Institute of Technology.

He received his Ph.D. degree in Engineering from the Kyoto Institute of Technology in 2006. After finishing his doctoral studies, he has been actively involved in the development of new synthesis methods for ferroelectric and semiconductor oxide nanoparticles and thin films based on dry and wet processes. Also, he started his original research of nanoscale characterization based on scanning probe microscopy (SPM). He demonstrated that SPM characterization of ferroelectric nanoparticles, thin films and multi-layer ceramic capacitors is advantageous for the design of future ceramic capacitors. He has authored and co-authored a total of 30 research papers in the field of nanoscience research. He holds 6 registered patents in Japan and he presented more than 15 invited talks.

He received 68^th CerSJ (The Ceramic Society of Japan) award for advancements in industrial ceramic technology. Currently, his research focuses are the development of novel electronic devices based on functional nanoparticles and thin films. Also, he continues to develop advanced SPM techniques to investigate the nature of nanomaterials in terms of nanoscale for the design of future electronic devices.
