Hiroshi Fukumura received his M.Sc and Ph.D. degrees from Tohoku University, Japan. He studied biocompatibility of polymers in the Government Industrial Research Institute of Osaka from 1983 to 1988. He became an assistant professor at Kyoto Institute of Technology in 1988, and then moved to the Department of Applied Physics, Osaka University in 1991, where he worked on the mechanism of laser ablation and laser molecular implantation. Since 1998, he is a professor in the Department of Chemistry at Tohoku University. He received the Award of the Japanese Photochemistry Association in 2000, and the Award for Creative Work from The Chemical Society Japan in 2005. His main research interest is the physical chemistry of organic molecules including polymeric materials studied with various kinds of time-resolved techniques and scanning probe microscopes.

The first useful organosilicon preceramic polymer, a silicon carbide fiber precursor, was developed by S. Yajima and his coworkers at Tohoku University in Japan [5]. As might be expected on the basis of the 2 C/l Si ratio of the (CH3)2SiCl2 starting material used in this process, the ceramic fibers contain free carbon as well as silicon carbide. A typical analysis [5] showed a composition 1 SiC/0.78 C/0.22 Si02- (The latter is introduced in the oxidative cure step of the polycarbosilane fiber).
