Dr. Tsutomu NOMIZU
Date of Birth: May 24, 1954

I have served as the academic coordinator of Nagoya University Program for Student Exchange (NUPACE) since its start in 1996. This program has annually accepted more than 70 -80 students from our partner universities all over the world and contributed to the internationalization of the education in Nagoya University. I was appointed as Director of the AC21 General Secretariat in 2006 (http://www.ac21.org/).  Additionally, in April 2008, I was appointed Advisor to the President and Director of Office of International Strategic Planning.(OISP).  In March 2009,  I terminated  the role of the Advisor and the Direcotrs of the AC21 General Secretariat and the OISP 

I also belong to the Graduate School of Engineering where my major is instrumental analytical chemistry. In my work, I am especially interested in the instrumentation of new principles and techniques for detecting ultra-trace elements in materials and environmental matters and for separating and characterizing submicron particles.
