Algorithms: optimizing social systems

Jun Kawahara
Graduate School of Informatics

I research methods to optimize social systems using algorithms. Various challenges in social systems need to be solved: devising switching procedures for maintenance without power outages in networks that bring electricity to homes, designing electoral districts to minimize vote value disparities in national elections, and optimally allocating evacuation shelters during disasters. I approach these issues by representing them as graphs—structures of points connected by lines—and developing algorithms to solve graph problems, thereby seeking better optimization methods. In addition to publishing research papers, I aim to implement algorithms that function in real-world social contexts.
