[School of Science and Technology] Professor HAYASHI Yoichi selected for Stanford University’s World’s Top 2% of Scientists

Nov. 04, 2024

Professor HAYASHI Yoichi in the Department of Computer Science at the School of Science and Technology was added to the list of World’s Top 2% of Scientists who have been highly cited in each field. The list has been published annually by a research team at Stanford University since 2019, and he has been selected for four consecutive years since 2021 in both the career-long and single-recent-year sections in the field of artificial intelligence.


Stanford University’s list of World’s Top 2% of Scientists is a valuable measure of scientific excellence and impact. The list highlights the importance of influential research in academic development, not only celebrating individuals’ achievements, by aggregating data across scientific disciplines and providing an approach based on fair indicators.
Separate career-long and single-recent-year impact databases are presented for papers cited after 1996. The list focuses on impact (citations) rather than the number of publications and also includes information on co-authorship and author positions (single, first, last author). The rankings are a beacon of excellence in the complex and evolving world of research.

Professor HAYASHI Yoichi received worldwide acclaim for his many years of research on artificial intelligence.
