Daisuke Takahashi is a full professor of computer science at the
University of Tsukuba, specializing in high-performance numerical computing.
Education and career
Takahashi received a bachelor's degree in engineering in 1993 and a master's degree in engineering in 1995, both from
Toyohashi University of Technology
Toyohashi University of Technology (豊橋技術科学大学; ''Toyohashi Gijutsu Kagaku Daigaku''), often abbreviated to Toyohashi Tech, or TUT, is a national engineering university located in Toyohashi, Aichi, Japan. Distinguished for the upp ...
. He completed a Ph.D. in information science from the
University of Tokyo in 1999. After working as a researcher at the University of Tokyo and at
Saitama University, he joined the University of Tsukuba in 2001.
Research
Takahashi's works include several records of the
number of digits of the approximation of Pi. His work on the computation of Pi has inspired his former student Emma Haruka Iwao, who broke a new record on March 14, 2019.
In 2011, he was part of a team from the University of Tsukuba that won the
Gordon Bell Prize of the
Association for Computing Machinery

quantum states of a
nanowire using the
K computer.
He is also known for his research on the
Fast Fourier transform
A fast Fourier transform (FFT) is an algorithm that computes the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of a sequence, or its inverse (IDFT). Fourier analysis converts a signal from its original domain (often time or space) to a representation in th ...
