At the
age of 24, Ooguri was appointed
a
tenured
Assistant
Professor
at the University of Tokyo. He 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 1989,
Ooguri received PhD from the University of Tokyo. |

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. Ooguri has
also been a Simons
Investigator of the Simons Foundation since 2012. He was elected in the
inaugural year of the program. In
2008, Ooguri shared the Leonard Eisenbud
Prize for Mathematics and Physics of
the American Mathematical Society in the inaugural year of the award,
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.) Ooguri 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. 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,
a member of the Faculty Board and a member of the Steering Committee
of the Board. In 2007, Ooguri
helped
to establish the Institute for
the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (now
called the Kavli IPMU) at the University of Tokyo, where he is a Principal
Investigator and a member of the Scientific Advisory Committee. 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. [1]
Yoshio Nishina was the founding father of modern
physics research in Japan. [2] Teiji Takagi was the founding father of modern
mathematics research in Japan. |
