Masatoshi Imada
Masatoshi Imada (born 23 August 1953 in Kumamoto, Japan) is a Japanese physicist specializing in theory of condensed matter physics.
Biography[編集]
In 1976 Imada graduated from the University of Tokyo and he completed his PhD in 1981 by the thesis "Dynamical Aspects in Statistical Mechanics of Nonlinear Waves". In 1981, he became a Research Associate at Institute for Solid State Physics, University of Tokyo, where he started quantum Monte Carlo simulations and developed methods for fermions in continuum space. Meantime, he spent one year in University of California at Santa Barbara and worked with Robert Schrieffer and Douglas Scalapino. In 1986, he became a lecturer and promoted to an associate professor in 1987, when he started theoretical and numerical studies on superconductors with high critical temperatures, discovered in copper oxides. In 1990, he again joined Institute for Solid State Physics, University of Tokyo, as an associate professor until 1997 and was a professor until 2006, when he moved to Department of Applied Physics as a professor until retirement in 2019. During his carreer, he developed various numerical simulation methods and successfully applied to strongly correlated electron systems, in particular high-temperature superconductors and exotic quantum magnets including quantum spin liquids. From 2019, he became a fellow in Toyota Physical and Chemical Research Institute (Toyota RIKEN), research professor of Waseda University and a visiting professor of Sophia University.
