Michio Jimbo

Michio Jimbo (神保道夫, Jimbō Michio, born November 28, 1951) is a Japanese mathematician working in mathematical physics and is a professor of mathematics at Rikkyo University. He is a grandson of the linguist Kaku Jimbo.

Career

After graduating from the University of Tokyo in 1974, he studied under Mikio Sato at the Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Kyoto University. He has made important contributions to mathematical physics, including (independently of Vladimir Drinfeld) the initial development of the study of quantum groups.

In 1993 he won the Japan Academy Prize for this work.[1] In 2010 he received the Wigner Medal.

gollark: Your only reason was basically just "poor UI".

gollark: Oh, SC's analytics run on FOSS too.
