Atushi Ishikawa

Atushi Ishikawa is a Professor at Kanazawa Gakuin University in the Faculty of Information Engineering. His research focuses on econophysics and computational social science, particularly statistical patterns in economic and natural systems.

Education:

• PhD in Physics, Graduate School of Science, Osaka University (1994)
• JSPS Research Fellow, Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto University

His research interests lie at the intersection of physics and social systems. He investigates statistical laws in firm-size variables such as sales and employee counts, extending to earthquake statistics and human movement trajectories. His work applies methods from statistical physics to complex real-world data, contributing to econophysics and data science. He employs computational modeling and large-scale data analysis to uncover universal patterns across diverse domains.

The recent publications and events (2010–2025) reflect a sustained engagement with econophysics, complexity science, and data visualization. Themes include interdisciplinary workshops (e.g., CSH Workshop), colloquia, and project-based research, indicating an active role in the scientific community and applied research initiatives.
