Keisuke Goda is currently a professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Tokyo, as well as an adjunct professor in the Department of Bioengineering at UCLA and the Institute of Technological Sciences at Wuhan University. He earned a B.A. degree summa cum laude in Physics from UC Berkeley in 2001 and a Ph.D. in Physics from MIT in 2007. While at MIT, he contributed to the development of quantum-enhancement techniques in the LIGO group, which received the 2017 Nobel Prize in physics for the detection of gravitational waves. In 2007, he joined the Department of Electrical Engineering at UCLA as a postdoctoral researcher and program manager, where he focused on laser-based ultrafast optical imaging and spectroscopy, as well as microfluidic biotechnology. In 2012, Goda joined the Department of Chemistry at the University of Tokyo as a professor. His research group is currently dedicated to developing "serendipity-enabling technologies" through extreme engineering. He has authored nearly 300 journal papers, filed over 30 patents, and launched four startups: CYBO, Cupido, LucasLand, and FlyWorks. Goda has received more than 30 awards and honors, including the Japan Academy Medal, JSPS Prize, SPIE Biophotonics Technology Innovator Award, and Philipp Franz von Siebold Award.
