Prof. Satoshi Tanaka got his Ph.D. in theoretical physics at Waseda University, Japan, in 1987. After being experienced as Assistant Professor, Senior Lecturer, and Associate Professor at Waseda University and Fukui University, he became Professor of Ritsumeikan University in 2002. His current research target is computer visualization of complex 3D shapes such as 3D scanned cultural heritage objects, inside structures of a human body, and fluid simulation results. Recently, he was President of JSST (Japan Society for Simulation Technology), President of ASIASIM (the Federation of Asia Simulation Societies), and Vice President of the VSJ (Visualization Society of Japan). Currently, he is working as Cooperation Member of Japan Science Council. He is the best paper winners at Asia Simulation Conference 2012,Journal of Advanced Simulation in Science
