Educational Details:
Dr. Takayuki Isii completed his academic training at Gakushuin University, where he earned his Ph.D. in Science from the Graduate School of Natural Science in 2015. Prior to his doctoral studies, he received his Master of Science in 2012, also from the Graduate School of Natural Science at Gakushuin University. His academic foundation began with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from the Faculty of Science, Gakushuin University, which he obtained in 2010. His educational journey provided a robust background in the natural sciences, laying the groundwork for his subsequent research in high-pressure geophysics and mineral physics.
Dr. Isii is currently an Associate Professor at Okayama University (April 2023 – present), where he focuses on high-pressure planetary materials. Prior to this, he was a tenure-tracked staff scientist at the Center for High Pressure Science & Technology Advanced Research (April 2021 – March 2023). His earlier roles include serving as the Principal Investigator of a German Research Foundation project (April 2019 – March 2021), Humboldt Research Fellow (April 2017 – March 2019), and Overseas Research Fellow supported by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) (April 2016 – March 2017). Dr. Isii also held postdoctoral fellowships under JSPS, focusing on the high-pressure properties of minerals relevant to Earth’s mantle.
Research Interest
Dr. Isii’s research focuses on high-pressure mineral physics, geophysics, and materials science. His primary interest lies in investigating phase transitions, chemical heterogeneities, and physical properties of Earth’s deep interior materials under extreme conditions. He also explores hydrous mineral stability and their implications for planetary processes. Dr. Isii actively contributes to advancing understanding in high-pressure science, geoscience, and planetary materials through experimental research and collaboration with international scientific communities.
