Ryota Shimizu was born in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan in 1983. He obtained his B.Sc. (2006), M.Sc. (2008) and D.Sc. (2011) degrees from The Univer-sity of Tokyo. He was a research associate at Advanced Institute for Materials Research (AIMR) in Tohoku University (2011–2012), a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science research fellowship (PD) (2012–2014), an assistant professor at AIMR in Tohoku University (2015–2016), a contract lecturer in Tokyo Institute of Technology (2016–2017), a PRESTO full-time research fellowship in Japan Science and Technology Agency (2017–2018). Since 2018, he has been an assistant professor at School of Materials and Chemical Technology in Tokyo Institute of Technology. His current research interest is novel functionalities in metal-hydride thin films and materials informatics combined with robotics.

N2 - Reports of superconductivity at temperatures above 200 K in high-pressure hydrogen sulfide (H2S) had generated great interest in metal hydrides and their physical properties. For the progress in both fundamental understanding and device application of metal hydrides, studies using single crystals or epitaxial thin films are essential. However, to date, a few metal hydride single crystals and epitaxial thin films have been fabricated, and both fundamental and applied research on these materials remain elusive compared with oxides and nitrides. This article reviews the recent body of work that aims to establish a metal-hydride epitaxial thin film synthesis technology, and to search for new metal-hydride functionalities; it focuses on the epitaxial growth and properties of metal hydrides.
