After receiving a Ph. D in Chemical Engineering from the University of Tokyo in 1999, Dr. Iino successfully proposed long questioned formation mechanisms of dioxins in incinerators as a postdoctoral researcher at the United States Environmental Protection Agency. In 2001, Dr. Iino's interests in chemical management and environmental governance led him to accept a position as a principal investigator at the Research Center for Chemical Risk Management, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, in Tsukuba, Japan. Dr. Iino has served as an expert delegate from Japan to the OECD, was an editorial member for "Chemistry and Education" published by the Chemical Society of Japan, a board member for the Society of Chemical Engineers, Japan and most recently was awarded a fellowship from the Dreyfus Foundation (New York, USA) which he used to conduct research at the University of Connecticut, USA. Dr. Iino was pleased to join the UNU as an academic programme officer in September 2004 where he will continue his work in environmental governance focusing on risk management and sustainable development.
