Hiroto Yoshida graduated from Kyoto University in 1996 and received his Ph.D. from Kyoto University under the supervision of Professors Eiji Shirakawa and Tamejiro Hiyama in 2001. He then became an Assistant Professor at Hiroshima University in 2001 and was promoted to an Associate Professor in 2006, and a Full Professor in 2020. He received BCSJ Award (2001), Japan Combinatorial Chemistry Focus Group Award in Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Japan (2005), Tetrahedron Letters Most Cited Paper 2003-2006 Award (2006), The Chemical Society of Japan Award for Young Chemists (2007), The Society of Silicon Chemistry Award for Young Chemists (2008), and The Young Scientists' Prize, The Commendation for Science and Technology by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (2009). He published more than 100 papers/reviews and 6 book chapters. His research interests include (1) aryne-based organic synthesis, (2) catalytic reactions for synthesis of main group organometallics containing boron, tin or silicon, and (3) main group organometallics-based organic synthesis.
