Hirotaka Sugawara
Hirotaka Sugawara ( Japanese 菅原 寛 孝 , Sugawara Hirotaka ; born March 15, 1938 in Miyagi Prefecture , Japan ) is a Japanese theoretical physicist who deals with elementary particle physics.
Life
Sugawara received his intermediate diploma in 1961 and his diploma in 1963 from the University of Tokyo , where he received his doctorate in physics in 1966. He then did research as a post-doctoral student at Cornell University (1966), at the University of California, Berkeley (1966/67), at the University of Chicago (1967/68) and at the Tokyo University of Education. before becoming professor at the Institute of Nuclear Physics at Tokyo University in 1971. From 1975 he was a professor at the National Laboratory for High Energy Physics ( KEK ), whose director he was from 1989.
He is known for the Sugawara construction of Virasoro algebras in conformal field theory.
He later served as President of the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) in Washington, DC In 2012, he was an advisor to the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST).
In 1971 he received the Nishina Prize and in 1996 the Toray Science and Technology Prize. He is a member of the Japanese Physical Society.
He is married and has one child.
