Toshio Yamaguchi graduated from Nagoya Institute of Technology, Nagoya, in 1973 and received his PhD degree from Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1978 (S.53). After terms as a research fellow in 1978 at Tokyo Institute of Technology and a postdoctral fellow at Gothenburg University, Sweden, from 1979 to 1982 and a research associate at Tokyo Institute of Technology from 1982 to 1986, he was appointed Associate Professor of Fukuoka University in 1986, and then promoted to a full Professor in 1994. He was invited to Max Planck Institute at Mainz, Germany, as a guest research fellow in 1985, to the Institute for Molecular Science as a Guest Associate Professor from 1989 to 1991, and to University of Gothenburg, Sweden, as a Guest Professor in 1989, etc.
