大関真之
Masayuki Ohzeki

Professor of Mathematical Informatics at the Graduate School of Information Sciences, Tohoku University

Professor at the Institute of Innovative Research, Tokyo Institute of Technology Founder

and Leader of Sigma-i Co., Ltd. 

After establishing the theory of Finite Dimensional Spinglass, Masayuki expanded his research activities to span both quantum annealing and machine learning with statistical mechanics as the bridge. He is a thought leader in Japans quantum annealing technology and conducts many industry-academic initiatives. He founded Jij Inc. through the accomplishments of the implementation of optimization technology accelerated by quantum annealing that came out of JST Start (Project Promoters) program. To widen the stage for academics to perform throughout the world, he founded Sigma-i Co., Ltd. to find a new style of connecting industry and academia by having a researcher himself be the leader.
