Functional Analytic Methods for Heat Green Operators: Heat Kernel Asymptotics Via the Weyl-Hörmander Calculus

Dr. Kazuaki Taira was awarded a Doctor of Science degree by the University of Tokyo (1976) and a Doctorat d’État degree by Université de Paris-Sud (Orsay) (1978), where he had studied on a French government scholarship (1976-1978). He was also a member of the Institute for Advanced Study (Princeton) (1980-1981), an associate professor at the University of Tsukuba (1981-1995), and a professor at Hiroshima University (1995-1998). In 1998, he accepted an offer from the University of Tsukuba to teach there again as a professor. He was also a part-time professor at Waseda University (2009-2017). His current research interests are in three interrelated subjects in analysis: semigroups, elliptic boundary value problems and Markov processes.
