Professor Mituru Ebihara received his Ph.D. in Science from the University of Tokyo in 1979, following his undergraduate studies there. He began his academic career at the University of Chicago (1979–1982), and subsequently held positions at Gunma University (1982–1988), Tokyo Metropolitan University (1988–2018), and Waseda University (2018–2024). He is currently Professor Emeritus and Visiting Professor at Tokyo Metropolitan University. Professor Ebihara’s research focuses on cosmochemistry, particularly the elemental composition of meteorites and its implications for early solar system processes. He has made significant contributions to analytical techniques and geochemical interpretations using neutron-based methods. He has served as a member of the International Commission on Atomic Weights and the International Committee on Activation Analysis. He is a Fellow of the Meteoritical Society and a recipient of major awards from the Geochemical Society of Japan and the Japan Society of Nuclear and Radiochemical Sciences.

Yoshio Takahashi is a Full Professor of Geochemistry and Environmental Radiochemistry in the Department of Earth and Planetary Science at the University of Tokyo. He received his Ph.D. from the Department of Chemistry at the same university. His research focuses on the speciation of various elements, including radionuclides, in the environment using X-ray spectroscopic techniques. He published more than 400 papers and their citations are more than 15,000 (Scopus). He has received the Commendation by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of the Japanese Government. He has also contributed to establishing the field of Molecular Geochemistry with many colleagues in the world.
