Takeji Hashimoto received degrees from Kyoto University (BS, 1965 and MS, 1967) and from the University of Massachusetts (MS,1969 and PhD, 1971). He was appointed as an Assistant Professor in 1971 in the Faculty of Engineering, Kyoto University and was promoted to full Professor in 1994.

His research interests include elucidation of mechanism and dynamics of self-organization of molecular assemblies in multicomponent polymer systems via phase transitions and phase separation in the absence (equilibrium systems) and presence (non-equilibrium systems) of externally applied fields ("polymer phasing" and "mechanics of polymer assemblies").
He has published 585 original aritcles, 58 review articles and contributed to 44 books.  He published the original articles in internationally renowned journals such as J. Chem. Phys, Phys. Rev. Lett. and Macromolecules.
He has won various awards including the "High Polymer Physics Prize (Ford Prize)" from American Physical Society (March, 1987) for his research in "Scattering techniques to the elucidation of phase and order disorder transitions in complex polymeric systems with particular emphasis on structure, morphology and kinetics".
