Yoshiko Ogata

[2] Ogata studied physics at the University of Tokyo at both the undergraduate and graduate level.

[3] In 2014, she won the Young Scientists' Prize of the Commendation for Science and Technology of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, for "her researches on operator algebras and their applications to quantum statistical machanics".

[5] She was one of the 2021 winners of the Henri Poincaré Prize, honored for her "groundbreaking work on the mathematical theory of quantum spin systems, ranging from the formulation of Onsager reciprocity relations to innovative contributions to the theory of matrix product states and of symmetry-protected topological phases of infinite quantum spin chains".

[6] She won the 44th Saruhashi Prize in 2024 for "Mathematical Studies of Quantum Many-Body Systems".

[7] She won the Asahi Prize in 2025 (fiscal 2024) for her research on "mathematical problems arising from quantum statistical mechanics".
