Makoto Matsumoto (mathematician) explained

Makoto Matsumoto (松本眞, born February 18, 1965) is a Japanese mathematician principally known as the inventor of the Mersenne Twister,[1] [2] a widely used pseudorandom number generator. He is also the author of the CryptMT stream cipher.[3]

Career

In Jan 1998, while an associate professor at Keio University, he invented the Mersenne Twister along with Takuji Nishimura. Two years later, he completed his Ph.D.[4] on random number generators.

Until his retirement in Aug 2023, he was a professor at the Department of Mathematics, Graduate School of Science, Hiroshima University.[5]
