Hideaki Takabe is a Professor at the Institute of Radiation Physics, Helmholtz
Zentrum Dresden Rossendorf (HZDR), Dresden, Germany and Professor-Emeritus
at Osaka University, Japan. He received a Ph.D. degree from Osaka University and
continued research at Max-Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, Germany, and the
University of Arizona, USA. He continued his research and education activity at the
Institute of Laser Engineering, Osaka University until early retirement in 2015. His
research fields are plasma physics, laser fusion, laboratory astrophysics, and HED
physics. He is known for Takabe formula in laser fusion and also as a pioneer of
laboratory astrophysics concept. He has taught Plasma Physics and Computational
Physics at the School of Engineering and School of Science for more than 20 years.
He committed the globalization of Osaka University. He was also a council member
of the Physical Societies of Japan (JPS) and the Association of Asia-Pacific Physical
Society (AAPPS), where he founded the Division of Plasma Physics (DPP). He
received the Edward Teller Medal in 2003 and John Dawson Award on Excellence
