Prof. Shoji Motomizu received his B.Sc. degree in 1966 and M.Sc. degree in 1968 in Analytical Chemistry from Okayama University in Japan. His D.Sc. in Analytical Chemistry was awarded in 1973 from Kyoto University in Japan. In 1968, he started his study on analytical chemistry at Okayama University as a research associate, and later he was promoted to a professor of Analytical Chemistry of Okayama University in 1992. He was currently a professor of Specialty in Research of Okayama University and of Aichi Institute of Technology. He was a chairman of JAFIA (the Japanese Association for Flow Injection Analysis) in 1994-2005, and was the Editor-in-Chief of JSAC (Japan Society for Analytical Chemistry) journals, Bunseki Kagaku. in 2003-2006. Now he is a Titular Member of Analytical Chemistry Division and IUPAC. 

He received several awards for his contribution to analytical chemistry. Some of them are: JSAC Award for Young Scientist in 1973, The 37th Award for Excellent Paper in Fat/Oil Techniques in 1994, Warsaw University Award in 2000, and JSAC Award for "Development of Separation / Detection System Based on Ion Association Concept" in 2001. Also he was awarded JAFIA Best Paper Award in 2002 and 2005, and JAFIA Scientific Award in 2005. 

His research is focused on (1) Development of new organic reagents for the separation and the detection of trace analytes, especially ion association and chelating reagents and ion exchanger resins, (2) Flow-based analysis (FIA/SIA, HPLC, IC and CE), especially computer-controlled flow-based analysis systems, and (3) New instrumentation for ultratrace analysis. He is the author and co-author of more than 360 original papers published in international journals, and of more than 40 books /chapters in analytical chemistry.
