	After a two year Master’s Course at Kyoto University, Ooguri became a tenured Assistant Professor at the University of Tokyo in 1986. In 1989, Ooguri received Ph. D. from the University of Tokyo. Ooguri was a Research Associate at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and held faculty appointments at the University of Chicago and Kyoto University.
In 1994, Ooguri became a Professor at the University of California at Berkeley and was subsequently appointed a Faculty Senior Scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. (See an article in Berkeleyan, the Berkeley campus newspaper.) Since 2000, Ooguri has been at Caltech, where he is Fred Kavli Professor of Theoretical Physics and Mathematics. He is a member of Caltech Particle Theory Group. From 2003 to 2009, Ooguri was a co-chair of the physics faculty search committee at Caltech and helped identify and hire 8 new professors in physics. Currently, he is the Deputy Chair of the Division of Physics, Mathematics, and Astronomy and a member of the Faculty Board. In 2008, Ooguri shared the inaugural Leonard Eisenbud Prize for Mathematics and Physics of the American Mathematical Society with Andrew Strominger and Cumrun Vafa for their work relating the number of black hole microstates to the Gromov-Witten invariants. (For a more colloquial description of the work, see the press release.) He also received the Nishina Memorial Prize^[1], which is the oldest and most prestigious physics award in Japan, for his work on topological string theory, and a Humboldt Research Award for his lifetime achievements in science. He was chosen to give the 2009 Takagi Lectures^[2], which is the only named lecture series of the Mathematical Society of Japan. In 2007, Ooguri helped to establish the Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe at the University of Tokyo, where he is a Principal Investigator and a member of the Scientific Advisory Committee. Ooguri has been a member of the Aspen Center for Physics since 2003 and was elected to a member of the Board of Trustees in 2011. Currently, he is also the Scientific Secretary of the Center. Ooguri is also on the Advisory Board of the International Solvay Institute in Brussels. Previously, He was on the Advisory Board of the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics in Santa Barbara and on the Scientific Advisory Board of the Banff International Science Station.
