Professor Yasuhiro Hayashi is a distinguished academic at Waseda University's School of Advanced Science and Engineering, where he serves as Professor in the Faculty of Science and Engineering and Director of the Smart Society Technology Integration Research Institute (ACROSS). He holds leadership positions including Vice President of the Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan (since 2025.06) and Chair of the Utsunomiya Zero Carbon Promotion Council (since 2023.02).
His educational background includes a Ph.D. from Waseda University (1993), following undergraduate and graduate studies at the same institution. Prior academic appointments include Associate Professor at University of Fukui (2000-2009) and Lecturer at Ibaraki University (1997-2000).
Professor Hayashi's research focuses on energy management systems, power engineering, and renewable energy integration. His work spans critical areas including optimization of advanced electrical energy systems, cooperative operation and control of distributed generation, photovoltaic systems integration, CO2 emissions reduction, and climate change mitigation. He has made significant contributions to smart grid technology, demand-side management, and zero-carbon transition initiatives, with particular emphasis on practical implementation through smart meter data analysis and real-world demonstration projects.
His publication record is extensive, with 365 papers according to Scopus (citation count: 3,423, h-index: 27) and even more according to Google Scholar (citation count: 12,332, h-index: 51, i10-index: 253). His recent work demonstrates strong focus on practical applications of smart meter data for urban carbon intensity analysis, electric transportation integration, and advanced control strategies for distributed energy resources in real distribution networks.
