Tomoyuki Hiroyasu, Doshisha University

 

Tomoyuki Hiroyasu is Associate Professor of the Department of Knowledge Engineering and Computer Sciences at Doshisha University.

1987 Doctor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering from Waseda University.

1987-1988 Research Associate in Waseda University

1988-2002 Research Associate in Doshisha University

2002-2003 Assistant Professor in Doshisha University

2003-Present Associate Professor in Doshisha University

He is working to develop optimization algorithms, such as gradient methods and genetic algorithms. He is applying these algorithms to solve several problems by computing simulations such as designing structures, finding the best parameters in fluid dynamics problems, and determining protein tertiary structures. To derive these solutions, huge computational costs are needed, which is why he is also working for developing tools for parallel, grid, and clusters.
