Professor Emeritus Yasumasa Nishiura is a mathematician who has dedicated his career to understanding more about the profound impact mathematics has on the world around us. He worked as Research Director at the Alliance for Breakthrough between Mathematics and Sciences (ABMS) (2007–2016) in Japan where he was supporting research activities in mathematical science that highlights their potential for solving societal problems. Nishiura is working with a team of researchers based at the Advanced Institute for Materials Research (AIMR), Tohoku University in Japan where they are studying self-organisation patterns that naturally manifest without design but have rhythm in space and time, such as polymers, convection, slime molds, and chemical reactions, to help learn more about pattern dynamics.
