Director and Professor at the Research Center of Advanced Science and Technology (RCAST), The University of Tokyo. His research interests regards neurobiology of insects and their adaptive behavior. The brains of animals switch their processing mode in order to exhibit behaviors that adapt them to a diverse range of environments by dynamically modifying the neural system in response to internal and external conditions. The aim of our research is to clarify the basic neural mechanisms for generating adaptive behaviors (or intelligence) using the interdisciplinary approaches of informatics, engineering and biology. As a model for the brain system we use insect brains that consist of 10^5 neurons. We have taken a combined approach at various levels, from genes over single neurons to neural networks, behavior, modeling, and robotics, owing to their seamless accessibility to a wide variety of methodological approaches. To examine the neural basis of behavior, we implemented a model of the neural circuit and integrated it with a mobile robot. Moreover, in order to understand the dynamics of the neural circuitry, we have developed an "insectrobot hybrid system" in which the insect or an isolated insect brain controls a robot. By comparing the hybrid system and model of the neural circuit of the insect, we can continuously improve the insect-brain model until we obtain a full emulation and complete understanding of the mechanisms of adaptability in the insect brain. Our research will lead to investigating the bio-robot hybrid system, and also to establishing basic technologies for operating these behaviors by artificially controlling the brain functions.

Kengo Kuma was born in 1954. Before establishing Kengo Kuma & Associates in 1990, he received his Master’s Degree in Architecture from the University of Tokyo, where he is currently a Professor of Architecture. Having been inspired by Kenzo Tange’s Yoyogi National Gymnasium, built for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, Kengo Kuma decided to pursue architecture at a young age, and later entered the Architecture program at the University of Tokyo, where he studied under Hiroshi Hara and Yoshichika Uchida. During his Graduate studies, he made a research trip across the Sahara, exploring various villages and settlements, observing a unique power and beauty. After his time as a Visiting Scholar at Columbia University in New York, he established his office in Tokyo. Since then, Kengo Kuma & Associates has designed architectural works in over twenty countries and received prestigious awards, including the Architectural Institute of Japan Award, the Spirit of Nature Wood Architecture Award (Finland), and the International Stone Architecture Award (Italy), among others. Kengo Kuma & Associates aims to design architecture which naturally merges with its cultural and environmental surroundings, proposing gentle, human scaled buildings. The office is constantly in search of new materials to replace concrete and steel, and seeks a new approach for architecture in a post-industrial society.

The objective of his research is to elucidate the emergen behavior of complex systems in terms of mathematical physics, as well as considering real applications of the emergent systems. We are especially interested in the interdisciplinary study of collective dynamics of self-driven particles and its jamming phenomena, which we call jamology, including vehicles, pedestrians, ants, packets in logistics and internet, proteins in organisms. The jamming phenomena in this study is considered as a kind of dynamical phase transition from free to congested state due to instability of flow. Our research is based on mathematical and physical analysis, followed by computer simulations and experiments in order to create better models that show emergent properties. The research subjects include reduction of traffic jam on highway, smooth evacuation of pedestrians, social animals and their emergent behaviors, supply chain network and granular flow.
