Award
Team Director Motoko Kotani Receives the Japan Academy Prize
Motoko Kotani, Team Director (concurrent) of the Mathematical Application Research Team, Division of Applied Mathematical Science, at the RIKEN Center for Interdisciplinary Theoretical and Mathematical Sciences (iTHEMS), has been selected as a recipient of the Japan Academy Prize. The Japan Academy announced on March 12, 2026, that the award recognizes the collaborative research “Discrete Geometric Analysis of Infinite Graphs with Symmetry” conducted with Toshikazu Sunada, Professor Emeritus of Meiji University and Professor Emeritus of Tohoku University. According to the award citation, the research was highly recognized for introducing the concept of the “standard realization” of crystal lattices, for studies of random walks on crystal lattices based on that concept, in particular for establishing central limit theorems and large deviation principles, and for the rediscovery of the K4 crystal and the promotion of its applications to materials science. These achievements have made important contributions to the development of discrete geometric analysis and discrete algebraic geometry from both theoretical and applied perspectives. The research recognized by this award is based on work that Team Director Kotani pursued while based at Tohoku University and the Advanced Institute for Materials Research (WPI-AIMR), Tohoku University. In 2018, iTHEMS and AIMR established the collaborative hub SUURI-COOL (Sendai): AIMR-iTHEMS Mathematical Science Laboratory. This laboratory, located on the third floor of the AIMR Main Building, aims to address fundamental questions in matter, life, and the universe, as well as basic problems in society, from the perspective of the mathematical sciences. All of us at iTHEMS extend our heartfelt congratulations to Team Director Kotani on this distinguished achievement.

Tomoki Ozawa received the Frontier Salon Nagase Prize (Special Prize)
Prof. Tomoki Ozawa, Professor at the Advanced Institute for Materials Research (WPI-AIMR), Tohoku University, and Visiting Scientist at iTHEMS, has been awarded the 15th Frontier Salon Nagase Prize (Special Prize) by the Frontier Salon Foundation. This award honors outstanding young researchers who are expected to pioneer the future of science and technology and potentially become future Nobel laureates. Prof. Ozawa is a theoretical physicist working in condensed matter physics. He applies the mathematical concept of topology, which focuses on the “shape” of systems, to discover universal physical principles shared among diverse systems—from metals and gases to light, sound, and even biological structures. His recent work extends these ideas into higher-dimensional topological frameworks, exploring new quantum states of light and matter. These studies are expected to contribute to the development of next-generation quantum and photonic technologies. To commemorate the award, Prof. Ozawa delivered a lecture titled “Horizons of Physics Opened by Topology: Beyond Matter and Dimensions” at the Science Seminar for High School Students held on September 26, 2025, where he introduced the beauty of topological physics and inspired young students with the joy of discovery.
