Masao Doi (土井正男, Doi Masao) (born 29 March 1948) is a Professor Emeritus at Nagoya University and The University of Tokyo. He is a Fellow of the Toyota Physical and Chemical Research Institute.[1] In 1976, he introduced a second quantised formalism for studying reaction-diffusion systems.[2][3] In 1978 and 1979 he wrote a series of papers with Sir Sam Edwards expanding on the concept of reptation introduced by Pierre-Gilles de Gennes in 1971.[4][5][6][7] In 1996 he authored the textbook Introduction to Polymer Physics.[8]
In 2001 the American Physical Society awarded Doi the Polymer Physics Prize for "pioneering contributions to the theory of dynamics and rheology of entangled polymers and complex fluids."[9]
He was also awarded the Bingham Medal in 2001 by the Society of Rheology.[10]
In 2016, he was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering for contributions to the rheology of polymeric liquids, especially the entanglement effect in concentrated solutions and melts.
