Short profile is here.
Professor Shingo Yamaguchi is a world-renowned researcher in the fields of Information Engineering, with a focus on Cybersecurity, Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI). He is widely recognized for his leadership in international academic communities and his innovative mathematical approaches to network security.

1. Global Recognition & Impact

  • World's Top 2% Scientist: He has been ranked in the "World's Top 2% Scientists" list published by Stanford University and Elsevier (latest update in September 2025). This list identifies researchers whose work has the highest impact based on citation metrics.
  • IEEE Leadership: He has held prestigious positions in the IEEE (the world's largest technical professional organization), including: Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Consumer Electronics Magazine, and Member of the Board of Governors for the IEEE Consumer Technology Society.
  • Awards: He has received numerous Best Paper Awards from major societies such as IEEE and the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE).
2. Key Research Areas
Professor Yamaguchi is known for using Petri Nets (a mathematical modeling language) to solve complex system problems. His core research includes:
  • Botnet Defense System (BDS) / White-hat Botnets: One of his most innovative concepts involves deploying White-hat (Benign) Bots that act like a digital immune system to autonomously find and patch vulnerabilities or neutralize malicious malware within a network.
  • AI and Cybersecurity: Utilizing Large Language Models (LLMs) to automatically generate security rules and defend against evolving cyber threats.
  • Resilient Smart Cities: Applying Deep Learning and AI to ensure that critical infrastructure (like power grids) remains functional even during cyberattacks or data failures.
3. Academic & Professional Roles
  • University Leadership: As the Director of the Center for Information and Data Science Education at Yamaguchi University, he led the university's efforts in DX (Digital Transformation) and data science education from 2021 to 2025. He is currently the Dean of the Faculty of Informatics since April, 2026 in Yamaguchi University.
  • IEICE Leadership: He serves as the Chair of the IEICE Chugoku Section (2025-present).
  • International Experience: He was a Visiting Scholar at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC), US, in 2007.
Professor Yamaguchi is a leading figure who bridges the gap between theoretical mathematical modeling and practical cybersecurity applications. His work is highly influential, making him one of the most distinguished faculty members at Yamaguchi University on the global stage.
