Fundamental and Application Studies on Mathematical Modelling of Complex Systems
We perform theoretical studies for mathematical modelling and analysis of complex systems and application studies for real-world phenomena including artificial intelligence and power grids.
Complex Dynamics Analysis
Complex dynamical behavior is ubiquitous in a variety of phenomena, ranging from microscopic activities in cells and genes to macroscopic activities in earth and cosmos.  Towards understanding complex dynamical behavior and solving practical issues through mathematical modeling and analyses, we aim at developing a method for predicting, controlling, and optimizing complex dynamical phenomena. The subjects of this research include biology, medicine, public health, engineering, economics, and social problems.

Research theme

  1. Brain-like energy-efficient information processing

    For realizing next-generation information processing systems, it is indispensable to miniaturize devices and make structures compact for enhancement of energy efficiency. We aim to develop mathematical methodologies for making brain-like computing systems energy efficient such that efficient computing is realized with low power and high speed.

  2. Applications of machine learning and advanced mathematical methods

    Machine learning technologies have enabled to efficiently perform tasks that have been manually handled by people. We aim to mathematically formulate problems in fields that are not approached by machine learning and mathematical modeling, and solve the problems by combining appropriate machine learning methods and advanced mathematical techniques.

  3. Mathematical studies on medical and social systems

    It is becoming possible to obtain real data on medical and social systems due to the developments of sensor devices and measurement techniques. We aim to propose effective control strategies for solving medically and socially important problems and improving quality of life.                                               

  4. Network robustness

    Networked systems are ubiquitous in the world, such as the Internet, power networks, and biological networks. Networking often accompanies a risk that a partial failure causes a breakdown of the whole system. We are investigating how network robustness depends on network structure, dynamics, and element interactions. Our aim is to develop a design method of robust networks and a recovery method of damaged networks.

    Research Topics

    Mathematical Analysis of Complex Systems
    In order to comprehend diverse complex systems ranging over biology, brain science, and socio-economics, we are developing new mathematical techniques based on, e.g., bifurcation theory, time-series analysis, and statistics, and trying to construct universal theoretical frameworks for complex systems.

    Understanding Information processing of biological systems
    In order to unveil the design principle of biological systems and their information processing, we are working on theoretical biology and bioinformatics for different types of biological phenomena and data, which cover neuroscience, cell biology, developmental biology, immunology, physiology, epidemics, bioimaging, and next-generation sequencing. Additionally, we are employing our mathematical models of brain and neural networks for engineering new neuromorphic hardware.

    Chaos engineering
    We are developing new information processing systems taking full advantage of the diverse dynamical behaviors that chaos and complex systems generate. Those systems are applied to the implementation of nonlinear analog circuits, constructing an artificial brain, and other engineering problems.
