2. This honor was in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the field of chemistry and his groundbreaking research in mass spectrometry.

In 1983, he graduated from Tohoku University with a bachelor's degree in engineering.

His groundbreaking work in the development of soft laser desorption ionization led to his Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2002.

"Laser desorption ionization of proteins with molecular masses exceeding 10,000 daltons". Tanaka graduated from Tohoku University with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering in 1983, afterward he joined Shimadzu Corporation, where he engaged in the development of mass spectrometers.

For mass spectrometry analyses of a macromolecule, such as a protein, the analyte must be ionized and vaporized by laser irradiation.

13. His work was filed as a patent application in 1985, and after the patent application was made public reported at the Annual Conference of the Mass Spectrometry Society of Japan held in Kyoto, in May 1987 and became known as soft laser desorption (SLD).[3]

However, there was some criticism about his winning the prize, saying that contribution by two German scientists, Franz Hillenkamp and Michael Karas was also big enough not to be dismissed, and therefore they should also be included as prize winners.
