Yasuaki Einaga received his BS (1994), MS (1996), and PhD (1999) from the University of Tokyo. After 2 years as a research associate at the University of Tokyo, he started a faculty career as an assistant professor in Keio University in 2001, where he was promoted to full professor in 2011. He has been also a research director of JST-CREST (2011-2014), JST-ACCEL (2014-2020), and NEDO (2020-). He was awarded "The Chemical Society of Japan Award for Creative Work" in 2016 for his pioneering work in diamond electrodes. His research interests include functional materials science, photochemistry, and electrochemistry

Takeshi Kondo received the Ph.D. degree from the University of Tokyo in 2004. He became an assistant professor in 2004, a junior associate professor in 2013, an associate professor in 2019, and a professor in 2024 at Tokyo University of Science. His research interests include functionalization of diamond and application of diamond to electrochemical devices such as electrochemical sensors, electrolysis system and chemical energy devices

Yuya Oaki is a Professor of Department of Applied Chemistry, Keio University, Japan. He received his Ph. D. in 2006 from Keio University and worked at The University of Tokyo as a postdoctoral fellow. He moved back to Keio University. His current research interest is soft 2D materials (layered structures and nanosheets), conjugated polymers, and their applications, such as batteries, catalysts, and sensors. He worked as a Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) PRESTO project researcher from 2016–2019 to study machine learning. Now, his group has developed a new approach combining machine learning and chemical insight for small data.

Mai Tomisaki is an Assistant Professor at International Institute for Carbon-Neutral Energy Research, Kyushu University, Japan from 2022. She received B.S. and M.S. degrees in science from Keio University, Japan in 2017 and 2018, respectively. She received a Ph.D. degree in science from Keio University in 2021 under the supervision of Professor Yasuaki Einaga. Her research interests include electrosynthesis of useful compounds, fine bubbles, and carbon-based electrode materials

Takashi Uemura obtained his PhD at Department of Polymer Chemistry, Kyoto University in 2002. He then began his academic career as Assistant Professor and Associate Professor at Department of Synthetic Chemistry and Biological Chemistry in Kyoto University. In 2018, he moved to the University of Tokyo where he holds the position of Professor. During the last five years, he has delivered >70 invited lectures at conferences and symposia. He has received a number of awards, including the Chemical Society of Japan (CSJ) Award for Young Chemists, Kao Research Initiative Award, JSPS Prize, CSJ Award for Creative Works, and Inoue Prize for Science. He has been appointed as Associate Editor of several international journals, such as Dalton Trans. (RSC), Chem. Lett. (CSJ), and Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn. (CSJ). He also joined the Advisory Board of Chem. Sci. (RSC) in 2019. His research interest focuses on the preparation of synergistic nanohybrids between porous coordination compounds and polymeric materials, in particular, polymer chemistry in confined nanospaces
