معرفی
Yuya Ominato is a non-tenure-track Assistant Professor at Waseda University’s Institute for Advanced Study, Japan, specializing in theoretical condensed-matter physics. Since earning his Doctor of Science from Tohoku University in 2016, he has held appointments at Tohoku’s Institute for Materials Research and the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Sciences (UCAS, Beijing), accumulating 22 Scopus papers, 429 citations and an h-index of 13.
Education:
- 2011–2016 Ph.D. in Physics, Graduate School of Science, Tohoku University
- 2007–2011 B.S. in Physics, Faculty of Science, Tohoku University
Research Interests:
Ominato explores quantum transport, spintronics and topological phases, focusing on Dirac/Weyl semimetals, two-dimensional atomic-layer materials, moiré systems, and hybrid superconductor–magnet interfaces. His recent work highlights acoustomagnonic spin Hall effects, thermomagnetic anomalies in ultracold atoms, and photocurrent generation in chiral semimetals.
Publication Trends:
His 2024–2025 output reveals a shift toward hybrid systems combining topology, magnetism and external drives (microwaves, acoustic waves, lasers), producing high-impact papers in Phys. Rev. Lett. and Communications Physics.
Scientific Awards:
- 2022 KITS Post-doctoral Fellowship
- 2022 Annual Performance Award (top 20%) – Kavli Institute for Theoretical Sciences
- 2021 Annual Performance Top-One Award – University of Chinese Academy of Sciences
Grants & Projects:
He currently leads Waseda internal grants on “Non-equilibrium physics in moiré 2-D materials” and “Photo-induced phase transitions,” extending his JSPS Grant-in-Aid for Early-Career Scientists (2014–2016) on 3-D Dirac electron systems.
Teaching & Syllabi:
At Waseda he lectures in “Problem Solving in Fundamental Physics B” (undergraduate) and “Advanced Topics in Physics A” (graduate), both listed for 2025.
