Hideo Aoki

Hideo Aoki is a Japanese theoretical physicist. He is an emeritus professor at the University of Tokyo, Japan, and works in the field of condensed-matter physics and cold-atom physics.

Biography Hideo Aoki studied theoretical condensed-matter physics, and received his PhD in physics from the University of Tokyo in 1978, where his doctoral research was on the quantum Hall effect. He was a visiting scholar at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, UK in 1980-1982. He then built up his group in 1986 at the department of physics, University of Tokyo in theoretical condensed-matter physics, as a full professor from 1998.

In 2016 he retired from the University of Tokyo and became an emeritus professor, and subsequently took up a research position at National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Tsukuba, Japan until 2022. In 2017 he was a guest professor at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, and also a guest scientist at the Max-Planck-Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter, Hamburg in Germany in 2018. are focussed on many-body and topological effects in electron systems, namely, superconductivity, magnetism, and topological systems (including graphene ). For these system he explored materials designed for correlated electron systems, and in particular non-equilibrium phenomena in recent years. He has authored or co-authored over 300 articles ranging across condensed-matter physics. He has also authored or co-edited six books:
