Prof. Tanaka completed his doctorate in materials science by studying the structural and magnetic properties of ferromagnetic nanoalloys at Osaka University in 1999. Then, moved to a national laboratory, RIKEN, to study the conductivity of metallic nanowires with double-probe scanning tunneling microscopy as a special postdoctoral researcher. After that, he advanced the molecular-ruler method in which precise multilayers of self-assembled molecular monolayers are used as lithographic resists to yield nanostructures with precise nanometer-scale spacings as a postdoctoral researcher at the Pennsylvania State University under Prof. Paul Weiss (presently UCLA, former chief editor of ACS Nano). Prof. Tanaka then joined the Research Center for Molecular-Scale Nanoscience at the Institute for Molecular Science in 2003 as an assistant professor, where he directed research in molecular electronics using carbon nanotube electrodes. He found that gold nanoparticles can switch from metallic conduction of SWNTs to semiconducting simply by nanoparticle adsorption. He has also focused on the development of atomic switches, exploring the ultimate miniaturization of electrical switches, and controlled by photo irradiation 2004-2008 in a key technology project of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT) and receive an excellent journal award from Japan Society of Applied Physics in 2012.
