Dr. Makoto Takamoto

Senior Research Scientist

Makoto received a Ph.D. in Astrophysics from Kyoto University in 2012. He completed his postdoctoral research in high-energy plasma physics at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics and the University of Tokyo. He began working on machine learning at NEC Biometrics Research Laboratories in 2018. In 2021, he joined NEC Laboratories Europe to focus on AI-driven scientific research. In November 2018, he received an Outstanding Achievement Award, issued by the High Performance Computing Infrastructure (HPCI) in Japan.
