Summary
Tasuku Igarashi is a professor of social psychology at Nagoya University specializing in social network analysis and computer-mediated communication, with a Ph.D. from Nagoya University. Over two decades of academic experience include JSPS fellowships, postdoctoral work at Osaka University and the University of Melbourne, and a progression from lecturer to associate professor and now professor. His research focuses on the dynamics of individual behavior within evolving social networks, how interpersonal processes are internalized, and how people manage information online. He combines quantitative network methods with experimental and computational approaches to study group formation and maintenance in digital and offline contexts. Based in Nagoya, he brings both deep theoretical grounding and practical insight into how communication technologies reshape social cognition. An often-overlooked strength is his sustained cross-cultural postdoctoral collaboration, which informs his comparative perspective on online information handling.
