Shojiro Nishio (西尾 章治郎 Nishio Shōjirō) is a Japanese computer scientist. He is the president of Osaka University.
Education and career
Nishio was a student at Kyoto University. He earned the Bachelor of Engineering in 1975, Master of Engineering in 1977, and Ph.D. in engineering in 1980. He was successively a faculty member at Kyoto University, a guest assistant professor at the University of Waterloo, a guest fellow at the Research Institute for High-degree Systems of British Columbia, and an assistant professor at Osaka University; he became a full professor in 1992.[1] He was made a Distinguished Professor of the university in 2013.[2]
Nishio has made contributions to data engineering, particularly to deductive and object-oriented databases, to knowledge discovery and to database system architecture for broadband networks and mobile computing environments. He is the co-author or co-editor of more than 50 books and more than 600 referred journal or conference papers on his research fields.[1][3]
Awards and honors
Nishio received an Achievement Award from the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE) in 2001,[4] and from the Funai Foundation for Information Technology in 2004.[5] He received a Distinguished Achievement and Contributions Award from the Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ) in 2010,[6] from the Database Society of Japan in 2010,[7] and from the IEICE in 2013.[8]
Nishio was elected a fellow of the IPSJ in March 2002,[9] of the IEICE in September 2004,[10] and of the IEEE Computer Society in January 2012, for contributions to data and knowledge management in database systems.[11][12]
In 2011 he won a Japanese Medal of Honor with purple ribbon for distinguished research achievement on information science.[13]
