Dr. Hideyuki Kanematsu, Ph.D. FIMF (a Fellow of IMF) is the Specially Appointed Professor at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) (KOSEN), Suzuka College in Japan. After holding many administrative positions in the college (Dean of the Department of MS and E, 2010–2014, Deputy President, 2014–2018, etc.), research advisor (2018-2021), and also the member of the research promotion committee in the headquarter of NIT (KOSEN) (2016-2021), he retired from NIT (KOSEN), Suzuka College once. Dr. Kanematsu is particularly interested in biofilms and the interfacial phenomena between metallic surfaces and organisms from an environmental science point of view. He holds a B.Eng. (1981), an M.Eng. (1983) and a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering (1989) all from Nagoya University. He is a member of the National Association for Surface Finishing (NASF, the USA), as well as the Institute of Metal Finishing (IMF, the UK), the Minerals, Metals and Materials Society (TMS, the USA), ASM International (the USA), Electrochemical Society (ECS, the USA), American Chemical Society (ACS, the USA), the Japan Institute of Metals (JIM) and the Iron and Steel Institute of Japan (ISIJ), Surface Finishing Society of Japan (SFSJ, Japan), the Electrochemical Society of Japan (ECSJ), the Japan Society for Heat Treatment (JSHT), Japan Thermal Spray Society (JTSS), etc. For all of these organizations, he is still very active as a member and also as a board member. He also has many honors and publications to his name. He was awarded a Marquis Who’s Who Lifetime Achievement award for his Outstanding Career and is an NASF Scientific Achievement Award Winner. On April 30, the GEAR 5.0 Project of the National Institute of Technology (KOSEN) in Japan began formally. Dr. Kanematsu became the UNIT Leader (Director) of Materials Science Research Center (KOSEN Center for Innovative Research, Collaboration, and the USE of Implemented Technology.) supported by the national project. Since November 2020, he has worked also as a guest professor for Nagoya University of Tokai National Higher Education and Research System. At the end of March 2021, he retired from NIT (KOSEN), Suzuka College, and became a Professor Emeritus of NIT, Suzuka College at the beginning of April 2021. At the same time, he became a Specially Appointed Professor to continue the GEAR 5.0 Materials Science project as the unit leader. Now his concern for the research activity is how to measure and also control the infectious capability of materials' surfaces. In April 2021, he was awarded the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award, and in April 2022, he was elected as a Fellow of ASM International in the United States. He started his research on 3D printing as a Specially-Appointed Professor in the Division of Materials & Manufacturing Science, Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka University on December 1, 2023, and continues to be active in the field.
