Takayuki Mizuno is an Associate Professor at the National Institute of Informatics and SOKENDAI (The Graduate University for Advanced Studies), where he leads interdisciplinary research at the intersection of informatics, econophysics, and computational social science. His work focuses on analyzing complex global systems such as economic networks, financial markets, human mobility, and geopolitical dynamics using big data and network science.
- Doctor of Science, Chuo University (Physics)
- JSPS Research Fellow (2004)
- Lecturer, Institute of Economic Research, Hitotsubashi University (2007–2010)
- Associate Professor, University of Tsukuba (2011–2013)
- Senior Research Fellow, Canon Institute for Global Studies (2009–present)
His research interests include computational social science, econophysics, network science, wealth inequality, financial bubbles, cryptocurrency regulation, public opinion manipulation, and global supply chain ethics. He develops models to understand market dynamics, detect hidden financial influences, and visualize geopolitical power shifts.
The recent articles highlight a consistent trend in applying big data and network analysis to real-world socio-economic problems: visualizing China's indirect control in global shareholder networks, detecting financial risks, analyzing online market competition, studying supply chain ethics, and understanding cultural integration through human mobility. The work bridges physics, economics, computer science, and political science.
