Hideo Aoki is a Japanese theoretical physicist. He is an emeritus professor at the University of Tokyo, Japan, and works in the field of condensed-matter physics and cold-atom physics.

Biography
Hideo Aoki was born in Tokyo, Japan, where he grew up. His father, Kazuhiko Aoki, was an automobile engineer who specialized in developing brake systems. Hideo Aoki received his PhD in physics from the University of Tokyo in 1978, where his doctoral research was on the quantum Hall effect. He was a visiting scholar at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, UK in 1980-1982. He then built up his group at the University of Tokyo on the theoretical condensed-matter physics, as a full professor from 1998.

In 2016 he retired from the University of Tokyo and became an emeritus professor there, and also took up a research position at National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Tsukuba, Japan. In 2017 he was a guest professor at ETH Zurich, Switzerland.

Research
The theoretical works of Hideo Aoki and his group are focussed on many-body and topological effects in electron systems, namely, superconductivity, magnetism, and topological systems (including graphene). For these system he explore materials design for correlated electron systems, and in particular non-equilibrium phenomena.

He has authored or co-authored over 300 articles ranging wide areas in the condensed-matter physics. He has also authored or co-edited several books.
