He was appointed as a Lecturer at the Department of Applied Physics, the University of Tokyo in 2001, and in 2002 he was appointed as an Associate Professor at Tohoku University, where he was subsequently promoted to professor. After serving as a Research Fellow with the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), and the with New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization, and was a Research Associate at the Institute for Materials Research, Tohoku University. He received his doctor of science degree from the same university in 1995. Sumio Ishihara is a Professor at the Department of Physics, Tohoku University. His research interests include magnetic and electrical transport properties of strongly correlated electron systems, and spectroscopic analysis of their electronic structures arising from these properties using synchrotron radiation. After serving as a Research Associate and an Assistant Professor at the University of Electro-Communications, he moved to his current position in 2008. from Tokyo Metropolitan University in 1997.

Yoshihiko Kobayashi is a Lecturer at the Department of Physics, Tokyo Medical University.

His research interests include electronic structure and magnetism of strongly correlated electron systems such as 3d transition-metal oxides and analyzing them using electron spectroscopy. An electric and heartfelt follow-up to Newbery Medalwinner The Crossover, from the dynamic team behind the graphic novel edition. In 2002, he joined the Department of Applied Physics, Tokyo University of Science as a junior Associate Professor and has been in his current position since 2011. Kwame Alexander's The Crossover is vividly brought to life as a graphic novel with stunning illustrations by star talent Dawud Anyabwile. In 1998, he became an Assistant Professor at the Photon Factory, the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK). He worked as a post-doctoral research associate at the University of Colorado at Boulder from 1996 to 1998. Tomohiko Saitoh is a Professor at the Department of Applied Physics, Tokyo University of Science. His research focuses on the optical spectroscopy of strongly correlated materials and ultrafast control of electronic properties in solid-state materials.
