Kohei Nakajima is an Associate Professor at the Department of Intelligent Mechano-Informatics, Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, The University of Tokyo. He holds concurrent positions at the Department of Creative Informatics and the Next Generation Artificial Intelligence Research Center (AI Center). As an Endowed Chair in Advanced Artificial Intelligence Education, he leads the Physical Intelligence Lab, which focuses on the intersection of soft robotics, nonlinear dynamics, and physical computing. His research interests center on Physical Reservoir Computing (PRC), a paradigm that exploits the natural dynamics of physical systems for computation, with applications in soft robotics, spintronics, and quantum machine learning. Nakajima's work demonstrates how physical systems can inherently process information without traditional digital computation, leveraging phenomena like chaos, bifurcations, and embodied intelligence. Nakajima's publications reveal a strong focus on understanding how physical systems can perform computational tasks. His recent work spans from biological applications (jellyfish cyborgs, ostrich-inspired robotics) to fundamental theoretical advances in reservoir computing. The research demonstrates how physical phenomena can be harnessed for information processing, with implications for energy-efficient computing and novel robotic control paradigms. As the organizer of the Reservoir Computing Seminar, Nakajima has built a vibrant research community exploring the nature of information processing across disciplines. His lab actively recruits graduate students and postdocs, indicating strong research momentum and institutional support for his work in physical intelligence.
