Takahiro Misawa

Dr. Takahiro Misawa is a theoretical physicist working in the field of strongly correlated electron systems. He has studied high-temperature superconductivities in iron-based superconductors and cuprates superconductors, quantum transport phenomena in topological materials, exotic quantum phases in frustrated magnets. He has also developed open-source software packages for strongly correlated electron systems. He joined BAQIS as an associate researcher (principal investigator) of Theoretical Physics Research Group in Division of Quantum State of Matter at October 2020.

He earned a Ph.D. in Engineering from Department of Applied Physics, University of Tokyo in 2008. He worked as a postdoctoral fellow (2008-2009) and later as a research associate (2009-2016) in Professor Masatoshi Imada’s Group at Department of Applied Physics, University of Tokyo. He worked as a principal investigator at Institute for Solid State Physics, University of Tokyo (2016-2020), and Waseda Research Institute for Science and Engineering (2020).
