معرفی
Tomoki Ohsawa is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at The University of Texas at Dallas. He holds a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Michigan (2010), with prior degrees including an M.S. in Physics (2008), M.A.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering (2005), and B.Eng./M.Eng. in Aeronautics & Astronautics from Kyoto University (2001/2003). His research focuses on geometric mechanics, Hamiltonian dynamics, and geometric control theory, with applications to quantum systems and fluid dynamics.
Key research interests include the study of symplectic integrators, vortex dynamics in Bose-Einstein condensates, semiclassical analysis, and stabilization of mechanical systems via controlled Lagrangians. His work bridges pure mathematics (geometric mechanics) with computational methods and engineering applications.
Major grants include NSF funding for 'Stabilization of mechanical systems with broken symmetry' ($240,574) and 'Shape Dynamics of Vortices: Theory and Numerics' ($164,965). Awards include the 2020 Notable Paper Award and a Simons Foundation visiting professorship (2015).
Teaching responsibilities span advanced topics like Geometric Mechanics, Optimal Control Theory, and courses in calculus and linear algebra. He has advised multiple independent studies on semiclassical dynamics and quantum control.
