Shizuo Ishiguro (1920–2007) was a Japanese oceanographer who studied the dynamics of ocean waves using analog computing. He worked at the Nagasaki Marine Observatory from 1948 to 1960 receiving his doctorate from the University of Tokyo in 1958.

Decades later, in 1949, a 29-year-old Japanese ocean scientist at the Nagasaki Marine Observatory, Shizuo Ishiguro, began working on a project to apply electronics to storm surge prediction, enabling more complex modelling. Four years later, the North Sea Flood struck with its devastating force.
In this article, I will use historical documentation to introduce the work of Dr. Shizuo Ishiguro (1920–2007) during his time at Nagasaki Marine Observatory. Dr. Ishiguro was known for his pioneering work in using analog electronic circuits to identify complex oceanic phenomena and would eventually move from Nagasaki Prefecture to the U.K.

Ishiguro attended kindergarten in Nagasaki and learned hiragana, the first and simplest of the three Japanese alphabets. Ishiguro left Japan with his parents and elder sister in April 1960 to live in Britain, after Shizuo Ishiguro, a research oceanographer, was invited to work for the British government at the National Institute of Oceanography.
The calculator converted hydrographic and meteorological data into voltages and electric currents and produced output on an oscilloscope relating to the behaviour of the surge wave at coastal locations. Shizuo Ishiguro and his storm surge modelling machine. (c) National Oceanography Centre.
The Ishiguro Storm Surge Machine is an analogue computer built by Japanese oceanographer Shizuo Ishiguro. Between 1960 and 1983, it was used to model storm surges in the North Sea by the UK National Institute of Oceanography. It is now on display in the Mathematics Gallery of the Science Museum in London.
Dec 2, 2016 · Ishiguro cites three areas - gene editing, robotics and Artificial Intelligence - that he believes could transform the way we live and interact with each other over the next 30 years.
