Yutaka Iino serves as an Associate Professor at Waseda University's Advanced Collaborative Research Organization for Smart Society (ACROSS) and Research Institute for Advanced Network Technology (RIANT). With over 35 years of professional experience, he transitioned from a long career at Toshiba Corporation (1984-2018) where he worked on energy management and energy-saving technologies, to his current academic position focusing on smart society element technologies including power, transportation, and information systems. Doctor of Engineering from Tokyo Institute of Technology (2015) Master's in Electrical Engineering from Waseda University (1984) Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering from Waseda University (1982) Professor Iino's research focuses on control and system engineering with particular emphasis on energy management systems and distributed optimization. His work bridges theoretical control systems with practical applications in smart grids, electric transportation, and distributed energy resources. He has pioneered approaches in decentralized optimization, modeling techniques for energy systems, and demand science applications in power networks. His research interests include Di-centralized and distributed optimization, Distributed Energy Resource management, System Control Theory, and Demand Science. Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong focus on practical applications of distributed energy resources, particularly in the context of electric buses, photovoltaic integration, and grid congestion management. His work demonstrates a consistent trajectory toward developing market-oriented solutions for energy systems, with increasing emphasis on machine learning techniques for parameter optimization and federated learning for smart inverter control. The research spans multiple domains including electrical engineering, transportation systems, and control theory, with a clear practical orientation toward solving real-world energy challenges. SICE Paper Award, No.1995 for 'Cyber-physical Optimal Traffic Signal Control Based on a Macroscopic Traffic Model and Its Verification Using Microscopic Traffic Simulator' Best Paper Award of IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering 2021 for 'Evaluation of Mutual Effect between Power and Traffic Aiming Electrified Urban Transportation System Using Integrated Light Rail Transit and Distribution System Model' Professor Iino has secured research funding through Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, including current projects on cooperative next-generation distribution system operation methods for mass introduction of photovoltaic power generation (2023-2027) and hybrid model analysis methods with data and physical models for automatic energy analysis (2020-2023). His committee memberships include roles in IEEE, Japan Society of Energy and Resources, The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan, and The Society of Instrument and Control Engineers (where he holds Fellow status). At Waseda University, Professor Iino contributes to the research ecosystem through the Advanced Collaborative Research Organization for Smart Society, where he leads efforts in developing practical energy management solutions that bridge theoretical control systems with real-world applications in smart grids and transportation electrification. His work exemplifies the integration of academic research with industry applications, leveraging his extensive industrial experience at Toshiba to inform his current academic pursuits.
