editHe majored in Mathematical Engineering in 1958 from theUniversity of Tokyothen graduated in 1963 from the Graduate School of theUniversity of Tokyo.
HisMaster of Engineeringin 1960 was entitledTopological and Information-Theoretical Foundation of Diakoptics and Codiakoptics. HisDoctor of Engineeringin 1963 was entitledDiakoptics of Information Spaces.
Shun'ichi Amari received several awards and is a visiting professor of prestigious universities.
He is the author of more than 200 peer-reviewed articles[1]and is best known for developingInformation Geometry.He also independently invented theHopfield networkin 1972,[2]a form of self-organizedrecurrent neural network.
He is currently holding a position of the prestigiousRIKENlab and is vice-president of Brain Science Institute, director of Brain Style Information Systems Group and team leader of Mathematical Neuroscience Laboratory.[3]
He was a winner of theIEEE Emanuel R. Piore Award(1997)[4]
