PeerJ Editor

Summary

K. Wakabayashi gained his Ph.D in 2000 from the University of Tsukuba in Japan. From 2000 to 2009 he was an Assistant Professor at the Department of Quantum Matter in Hiroshima University, Japan. From 2009 to 2015, he was an Independent Scientist at the World Premier Research Center Initiative for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (WPI-MANA), National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) in Tsukuba, Japan. From 2015, he is a full professor at the Department of Nanotechnology for Sustainable Energy, School of Science and Technology, Kwansei Gakuin University, Japan. Besides the above primary research position, he was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Theoretical Physics, ETH-Zurich, Switzerland, from 2003 to 2005, and also had a concurrent position as PRESTO researcher in Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST). His main research interests are theoretical nanoscience and condensed matter theory, especially focusing on electronic transport and magnetism in nanoscale scale systems. Also, he is known for his contributions to the theoretical works for nano-graphene and graphene nanoribbons. His total citation accumulates about 11000.
