AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the universal laws hidden in complex phenomena
The Akimoto Lab studies universal (statistical) laws underlying complex phenomena, focusing on nonequilibrium statistical physics, nonlinear science, and theoretical biophysics.
In particular, it focuses on universal laws of long-time averages in anomalous transport and nonstationary phenomena (infinite ergodic theory), and pursues this research through probability theory and numerical simulation.
The lab encourages students to take the lead in everything from designing research and setting problems to building theory.
The lab's website introduces it under the name "Nonequilibrium and Nonlinear Physics Lab."
Key terms
- Infinite ergodic theory
- A theory that deals with universal laws of long-time averages in anomalous transport and nonstationary phenomena.
- Anomalous diffusion
- A phenomenon, seen for example inside cells, in which spreading occurs differently from ordinary diffusion.
- Chaotic dynamical system
- A system that changes according to fixed rules yet shows complex behavior. The lab theoretically investigates its connection to diffusion phenomena.
ResearchResearch themes
Aiming to uncover universal statistical laws underlying complex phenomena, the lab pursues its research through probability theory and numerical simulation. Its research themes are elucidating anomalous diffusion inside cells, theory linking chaotic dynamical systems and diffusion phenomena, and optimization and efficiency improvement in random search processes.
