Rsearch Field
Our research field is theoretical computer science. In today's advanced IT society, everyone is using "computers" in the broad sense of the term, such as smartphones and personal computers, to enrich their lives. In our laboratory, we are not just using "computers" as tools, but are conducting research to theoretically re-formulate their mechanisms or to design new ones.
Specifically, we apply mathematical logic, a branch of mathematics, to scientifically explore the functions of programming and the specifications of software and communication protocols. Furthermore, we aim to realize highly reliable software by developing formal verification techniques that mathematically guarantee the correctness of algorithms and programs.
Keywords
Formal Specification/Verification, Many-sorted Equational Logic, Modal Logic, Dynamic Logic (Hoare Logic), Temporal Logic (Model Checking), Quantum Logic, Universal Algebra, State Transition System, Parallel Computation, Quantum Computation, Quantum Program/Protocol
Research Policy
- Basically, research discussion follows the flow of definition, theorem, and proof.
- However, the motivation is in computer science, not in mathematics.
- The goal is to establish and refine a theory, but also to implement it by programming to demonstrate its effectiveness (in some cases).
Rsearch Questions
- How does mathematics underlie the theory of computing?
- How is the symbolic processing of a computer related to its meaning (intension)?
- Are calculation results given by a computer really reliable?
- How do we prove that the program is bug-free?
Student Guidance Policy
- I respect students' autonomy and will never force them to do research activities when they are busy with job hunting, homecoming, etc.
- I take into account as much as possible each student's background (what they studied in their undergraduate studies, their strengths and weaknesses, etc.) and motivation (what they want to research, what they want to learn, etc.).
- For students who do not have a theoretical background, I will guide you from the rudiments of mathematics.
- I value the spirit of independence, autonomy, and freedom, aiming to create an open laboratory.
- Hold regular weekly meetings to review progress.
- Basic knowledge study groups are held as needed.
- For students who want to learn more thoroughly, Long-term Study System is available.
- Can pay honorarium as Laboratory Assistant (LA) if budget allows.
- To receive a Ph.D. degree, a student must have research achievements that are recognized around the world (published in peer-reviewed papers at appropriate international conferences and/or in international journals).
- To this end, I will assist in revising papers, research proposals, and research grant applications, as well as provide guidance in academic writing.
- If your application will be accepted by JSPS (JSPS Fellowship) or JAIST/JST (JAIST-SPRING Doctoral Fellow), you will be able to concentrate on your research under the support of living and research funds. See also the scholarship information.
- All applicants are employed as University Assistants (UA) in a pay-for-work system.
- Can pay honorarium as Research Assistant (RA) if budget allows.
