معرفی
Tadashi Okazaki is an Associate Professor at the Shing-Tung Yau Center of Southeast University, China, holding this position since December 2022. His academic trajectory includes research fellowships at Korea Institute for Advanced Study, postdoctoral positions at Durham University, Perimeter Institute, National Taiwan University, and KEK Theory Center, plus JSPS fellowship at Caltech.
His research focuses on quantum field theory and string theory with emphasis on gauge-gravity dualities, supersymmetric gauge theories, and mathematical structures in theoretical physics. Key investigations involve brane constructions, boundary conditions in quantum field theories, Schur indices, and M2-brane physics. Recent work demonstrates strong connections between gauge theory correlators and mathematical structures like plane partitions and q-special functions.
Professor Okazaki maintains an active publication record with 15 significant papers from 2019-2024 in top journals including Journal of High Energy Physics and Physical Review D. His research shows consistent evolution from foundational work on boundary conditions toward current explorations of line defect correlators and dualities in exceptional gauge groups.
Awarded the competitive JSPS Research Fellowship for Young Scientists DC1 in 2012, he serves as referee for leading journals including:
- Journal of High Energy Physics (Springer)
- Communications in Mathematical Physics (Springer)
- Mathematical Reviews (AMS)
- Journal of Mathematical Physics (AIP)
He has delivered 20+ invited talks at international conferences including Strings 2012, SUSY 2021, and the First International Congress of Basic Science. His seminar invitations span 15+ institutions worldwide including Caltech, Cambridge, and Tokyo Institute of Technology, reflecting strong international collaboration networks. Current research at Southeast University's Shing-Tung Yau Center continues his exploration of quantum field theory dualities and mathematical structures.
