Overview
As a student at the University of Kyoto in 1994, Mochizuki left his undergraduate studies early to become a graduate student in mathematics at the same university. He completed his Ph.D. in 1999, and joined the faculty of Osaka City University, returning to Kyoto in 2004.[1]
He was awarded the Japan Academy Prize in 2011 for his research on D-modules in algebraic analysis.[1][2] In 2014 he was a plenary speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians.[3]
Mochizuki was awarded the 2022 Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics for his work on "the theory of bundles with flat connections over algebraic varieties".[4]
