Shinzo Watanabe

Shinzō Watanabe (渡辺 信三 Watanabe Shinzō, 23 December 1935) is a Japanese mathematician, who works on probability theory, stochastic processes and stochastic differential equations.^[1]

Watanabe received from Kyoto University in 1958 his bachelor's degree and in 1963 his Ph.D. under Kiyosi Itô.^[2] Watanabe became a professor at Kyoto University. He was also a visiting professor at Stanford University and participated in the organizing committees of international Japanese/Soviet seminars on probability theory.

In 1989 he received the Autumn Prize of the Mathematical Society of Japan.^[3] In 1983 he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Warsaw (Excursion point processes and diffusion).
