Research Supervisor

Outline

To achieve breakthroughs in addressing of real world issues that have been difficult to solve through extensions of existing science and technology desperately requires solutions based on innovative concepts incorporating a broad array of ideas and approaches from modern mathematics. Producing those solutions requires that these issues be addressed from mathematical perspectives that widely range from pure mathematics, such as algebra, geometry, analysis, to applied, statistical, and discrete mathematics.
This research area aims to apply the full potential of mathematics to the resolution of real world issues and, within the process of addressing those problems, furthering the development of mathematics itself. In the pursuit of research, great emphasis will be placed on the researchers themselves experiencing the real world issues firsthand, so that they can develop their own awareness of the issues at hand and keep in mind the need for solution-oriented approaches as they advance basic research. It is expected that researchers in the mathematical fields will collaborate with theoretical and experimental researchers in the natural sciences, information sciences, engineering, and life sciences. Similarly it is expected that the researchers from various fields will be engaged in mathematical fields and work to solve issues. In the management of the research area, the research director will place great emphasis on researchers mutually influencing one another and working to solve problems from an interdisciplinary, integrative perspective. As a result, it is intended that　a succession of young researchers will emerge to become future world-class leaders in the field of mathematical sciences.
