FUTI 奨学金

FUTI奨学金は、信越化学工業（株）の米国法人Shintech Inc.のご寄付、多数の東大卒業生個人のご寄付で支援されています。2007年のFUTI創立以来、東大と米国各大学の双方向の夏季短期留学に奨学金を支給してきました。2022年からはそれら短期に加えて、中長期留学の奨学金が始まりました。夏季短期留学に関しては従来通りで変更ありません。

中長期留学の奨学金では、2016年から米国伊藤財団-FUTI奨学金が支給されて来ましたので、その拡張となります。応募される方が混乱されないように、中長期留学の奨学金の応募受付・採択基準・採択・支給は全て同一手続きでFUTIが行います。採択者にはFUTIから奨学金の名称をお知らせします。

米国伊藤財団-FUTI奨学金およびIF育英奨学金

「米国伊藤財団 ITO FOUNDATION U.S.A.」は、日本で既に広く学生に奨学金を提供して勉学を支援している伊藤謝恩育英財団の創立者で（株）セブン＆アイ・ホールディングス前名誉会長の故伊藤雅俊氏が、同じく創立された米国の財団です。

米国伊藤財団は伊藤謝恩育英財団と同様に、日本全体が貧しかった若き日に学資の提供を得て人生の推進力を獲得した創立者が、謝恩の立場で前途有為な学生を支援するために熱い想いをもって設立し運営している財団です。現理事長は、同社代表取締役伊藤順朗氏が務めておられます。

「FUTI=Friends of UTokyo, Inc. 東大友の会」は、東大卒業生が中心となって、東大と米国の大学との間の留学生に奨学金を支給することを通じて、東大の国際化と両国学生間の交流に貢献して来た米国New York州のNPOです。

FUTIのメンバーの大多数は、留学制度や奨学金が今ほど整備されていなかった時代に、青雲の志をもって自ら留学への道を切り開き、その知識と経験を文系や理系の多様な分野で、教職・企業人・起業家・社会人として活かしてきた元東大生達です。国際化時代に日本や東大の国際化が必ずしも充分ではなく、ともすれば他国の後塵を拝していることを深く憂い、その改善にボランティアとして微力を尽くしています。

この両者の提携により、米国伊藤財団の資金提供とFUTIの運営で、米国大学への中長期留学（但し応募締切から11か月以内に留学）を志す東大の学部生・大学院生・卒業生に奨学金を支給します。

（２）研究活動

・主な研究テーマ紹介と内容の概要説明

(1) 磁気リコネクション室内実験

トーラスプラズマの軸対称合体を用いたリコネクション室内実験では，従来に比べて一桁高いレイノルズ数領域で 2014 年以降もリコネクションの多くの謎：高速リコネクション機構としての電流シート異常抵抗，非定常リコネクション，プラズモイド放出やリコネクション加熱としてのイオンのアウトフロー加熱加熱と電子のＸ点加熱等多くの未解明の物理を明らかにした。本人や協力研究者の多数の招待講演・論文と共に合体型リコネクション実験は 2015 年時点，世界で 10 を越えるなど大きな波及効果を生み，2014 年度まで先端研究拠点事業代表，それ以降も自然科学研究機構の国際連携研究センターを通じた国際 COE の分野代表をつとめている。

(2) トカマク合体を用いた大出力プラズマ加熱

トカマク合体・リコネクションのイオンアウトフロー加熱を用いて大出力のイオン直接加熱を行う手法を東京大学で 2015 年開発した。東京大学 TS-3 実験と MAST 日英協力合体実験でイオン温度 1000 万度まで加熱スケーリング則を実証し，NBI 追加熱を用いずにアルファ加熱をスタートできる可能性を示した。本人や協力研究者の多数の招待講演・招待論文，新聞発表と共に類似装置も世界で 3 つに増え，2018 年合体加熱により核融合反応スタートを狙った核融合ベンチャー企業: Tokamak Energy 社の ST-40 高磁場合体実験装置の建設に協力し，2018-2019 年テスト運転では 2 千万度を得ている。

(3) 異極性スフェロマック合体を用いた磁場反転配位配位（FRC）の低速生成互いに逆向きのトロイダル磁場を有するスフェロマック 2 個を低速生成・合体して FRC を生成する手法を初めて提案・実証した。従来のテータピンチ生成に比べて生成効率が数倍優れていることから， 2015 年時点では既に FRC 生成の多数派に成長した。合体プラズマの FRC への運動論的緩和も自己組織化の観点から注目され，本人や協力研究者の招待講演・論文と共に外部にも多くの理論研究を生み，米国を中心に多くの後続実験を生んだ。最近では 2016 年核融合ベンチャー企業: TriAlpha 社の合体や 2018 年 Helicity Space 社の新実験に生かされている。

(4) FRC を用いた超高ベータ球状トカマクの生成と維持

FRC に後からトロイダル磁場を印加する手法でベータ値が 50％に達する超高ベータ球状トカマクを生成し，絶対極小磁場配位を有する（バルーニング不安定に対する）第 2 安定トカマクの生成とその優れた安定性を実験的に実証し，本人や協力研究者の招待講演を生んだ。

(5) ドップラートモグラフィーを用いた 2 次元イオン温度・流速計測視線方向に積分して観測されるプラズマのライン光のドップラー広がりとシフトを多方向から計測して，波長毎にベクトル逆問題をベクトルトモグラフィーによって解き，局所的なイオン温度と速度を再構成する計測をはじめて確立した。ベクトルトモグラフィー再構成理論から実証実験まで始めて確立し，本人や協力研究者の招待講演，解説や学生受賞を生んだ。

(6) 実験・観測・理論を融合したリコネクション・自己組織化研究

合体型リコネクション実験により，実験・観測・理論の比較が可能となり，３者を融合した太陽や磁気圏模擬実験，コロナ物理模擬実験に発展した。３者を融合した組織は本人が代表となり， 2000 年以来，日米科学技術協力事業として国際会議 Magnetic Reconnection in Space and Laboratory Plasmas を日本側代表としてほぼ毎年開催し，さらに 2014 年以降は自然科学研究機構の国際分野連携プログラムの設立につながり，日本側分野代表をつとめている。

(7) 粒子シミュレーションを用いたリコネクション加熱現象の開発

実験と理論・シミュレーションの融合が進む中で，効率の高いトカマク合体・リコネクション加熱の解明を進め，実験に対応する境界条件を持つ粒子シミュレーションを実現することにより，リコネクションのイオン加熱や電子加熱のメカニズム解明に成果をあげ，Editor’s pick となった論文をはじめ，本人や協力研究者の多くの招待講演を生んだ。

Hsun Kwei & Aiko Takizawa Chou Scholarship

The Hsun Kwei & Aiko Takizawa Chou Scholarship, administered by Friends of UTokyo, Inc. (FUTI)is funded by a generous donation made to the University of Tokyo New York Office (UTokyoNY) by Dr. Hsun Kwei Chou and Mrs. Aiko Takizawa Chou.

Dr. Hsun Kwei Chou, a native of Shanghai City, moved to the United States upon receiving his PhD in Engineering from the University of Tokyo. In the U.S., he established himself as an “angel investor” after many successful ventures in the semiconductor-related business. His aspiration has been to foster “development and cooperation” among three nations: Namely, China, where he was raised; Japan, which provided him with an advanced education; and the United States, which presented him with business opportunities. He has donated large sums to educational institutions in these three countries because he believes his wealth to be a “gift from societies” and wishes to give back to them by donating to educational institutions that nurture people who strive to create a better society.

UTokyoNY was created to serve in the U.S.A. as a focal point of the globalization effort of UTokyo which is committed to be “the base of knowledge.” Since facilitating study abroad programs between UTokyo and U.S. universities matches the intention of Dr. and Mrs. Chou, it created the scholarship program bearing their names and entrusted FUTI to serve as its administrator.

FUTI is a charitable nonprofit organization registered in the State of New York, operated principally by alumni of the University of Tokyo. Since 2010 it has financially supported students and alumni of UTokyo who wish to study at U.S. universities and those in the U.S. seeking to study at UTokyo. In recent years, there is an increasing recognition of the value of and need for such programs.

The aspiration and intention of these three entities have aligned and come to fruition with the establishment of this scholarship program.

Shigenori Matsushita

Shigenori (Shig) Matsushita (松下重悳): Upon graduating from the Department of Electrical Engineering (with Major in Communications) of UTokyo in March 1959, he joined Toshiba Corporation in April 1959 where he designed basic transistor circuits for computers. He was a chief design engineer for a patch-board programmed computer and a magnetic drum internal-program computer. In 1962 he was awarded a Fulbright scholarship and studied at the University of Illinois, where he worked as an assistant to develop a pattern recognition computer, ILLIAC III, in the Digital Computer Laboratory, and received his MS degree in August 1963.

In 1961, a joint research project with the then Assistant Professor Hiroshi Hagiwara of Kyoto University began and the first full-scale microprogrammed computer, KT-P, was completed. This work was presented at the IFIP Congress in 1962 and attracted attention for its variable microprograms, which were implemented by patch-boards and punched hole cards covering photo-transistors. Based on this technology, the development of a high-speed microprogrammed computer, TOSBAC-3400, for commercialization was initiated, for which he served as the chief design engineer. This computer was widely used by computer centers of domestic universities, primarily for FORTRAN calculations and by camera manufacturers for their lens designs.

Toshiba became affiliated with the Computer Division of General Electric, which was then annexed into Honeywell Information Systems (HIS). As a result, HIS became affiliated with both Toshiba and NEC. Mr. Matsushita led a joint HIS-Toshiba project to develop a high-speed computer and its technology , by dispatching several dozens of Toshiba engineers to HIS.

While holding these technical and managerial responsibilities for the company, he studied by himself, in his private hours, to construct a crosstalk theory for digital signals, and received his Doctor of Engineering degree from UTokyo in October 1974.

In 1978, Toshiba transferred its large-scale general-purpose computer business to a joint company with NEC, named “NEC-Toshiba Information Systems,” where he was responsible for business planning, negotiation and contracts. At the same time, Toshiba recognized a new business opportunity in “Office Automation” or “OA”, which could be realized by integrating small-scale computers, communications and business machines. Dr. Matsushita planned, promoted and evangelized the OA business. Later, he was named Associate General Manager of Technology for these businesses, being responsible for administration of these technologies. When the computer group and the control systems group were merged, he became responsible for the technology operations. In 1985 he decided the company’s strategy for an IBM-compatible laptop personal computer, T-1100.

When a new breed of companies emerged overseas, he promoted alliances with overseas companies, including Toshiba’s OEM contract with Sun Microsystems, a joint company with Computer-Vision, a joint company with Olivetti, and a sales contract with Netscape. The contracts with Sun Microsystems and Netscape were the first such contracts done by any Japanese company.

From 1993-96 Dr. Matsushita was the Executive Vice President of Toshiba Information Systems and led a switchover from the custom-made COBOL software development business to the online, packaged or personal computer software business. From 1996-2001, he was President of the Japanese subsidiary of an American start-up company, Wink Communications, whose business was to promote and market an interactive television system.

From 2002-5 he was fully engaged in the establishment and operation of a venture capital firm in Tokyo. Since 2002 to the present , he has been also serving as a director of the Board of a start-up company, DDS Inc., which specializes in fingerprint recognition. Dr. Matsushita helped DDS accomplish its IPO in Tokyo. From 2005 through 2011, he was also on the Board of Directors of an Internet start-up company, Luke 19 Inc., which was acquired by another Internet company.

From 2002 to 2014, he was a visiting professor of the University of Chubu, Nagoya, giving lectures on globalization of economy and on IT applications to a summer business school class for businessmen.

Dr. Matsushita is a member of the Japanese Computer Pioneers elected by the IPSJ (Information Processing Society of Japan) Computer Museum. http://museum.ipsj.or.jp/en/pioneer/index.html
