Chihiro Matsui

Chihiro Matsui is an Associate Professor at the Department of Mathematical Structure Theory, Graduate School of Mathematical Sciences, University of Tokyo. Her research focuses on quantum solvable models and solvable stochastic processes, leveraging algebraic structures like quantum groups and the Yang-Baxter equation to derive exact physical quantities. She has made significant contributions to understanding supersymmetry emergence in quantum field theories from non-supersymmetric spin chains and extending asymmetric exclusion processes to multi-state applications.

Her work on quantum solvable models connects many-body scattering decomposition to integrability, while her studies on multi-state asymmetric exclusion processes explore applications in traffic engineering and micromeritics through higher-dimensional Temperley-Lieb representations. Recent articles analyze weak ergodicity breaking and partially solvable quantum systems.

Scientific awards include the Statphys27 Poster Award (2023), NTT Com Online Prize (2014), and a Best Poster Award Bronze Prize (2013). She serves on the editorial board of the Journal of the Physical Society of Japan since 2017.
