Takahiro Ezaki, Ph. D
Project Lecturer, Division of Advanced Logistic Science, Research Center for Advanced Science (RCAST), The University of Tokyo
Co-founder / President, infonerv inc.
Executive Advisor, Rootf Datum, Inc.
Armed with mathematical modeling and data analysis techniques, I focus my efforts broadly on various challenges across diverse fields, with a particular emphasis on 'controlling complex systems.' Currently, I am mainly focused on formulating and implementing theories that enable next-generation network logistics, and deciphering the integrated mechanisms of various functions in neuroscience and cognitive psychology. These are the subjects of various topics I'm studying, along with several side projects. (More information about my previous research can be found here)
Additionally, I am involved in several social implementation efforts. At infonerv, a company I founded, we challenge the world to streamline logistics by offering applications for automated ordering and inventory management utilizing data. I am also engaged in practical applications and education of data science at companies and organizations like Root F Datam, where I serve as an executive advisor, and others.
