Faculty of Horticulture, Chiba University
Assistant ProfessorI started studying geography to understand why and how the world we live in, including natural landscapes, has evolved into its present form. Currently, my research involves various subjects, including agricultural meteorology, smart farming, and geography, using sensing technologies such as image analysis. I focus on exploring the relationships between the natural environment and agriculture.
Recent Topics of Interest: Agriculture in arid regions. Estimation of edible rice and sake rice quality. Artificial Intelligence.
Motto in Research or in Life:
Ultimately, cultivating sensitivity is of utmost importance.
Talent is the ability to sustain the same level of passion, drive, and motivation over time. (Yoshiharu Habu, Shogi Player)
Hobby / Holiday: Walking and exploring new places I have never been before
Browsing tableware and cooking utensils
Faculty of Engineering, Chiba University / Molecular Chirality Research Center
ProfessorI am researching machining technology, which aims to shape materials into desired forms and constantly evolve.
For example, advancements in smartphone performance and shatter-resistant displays are the results of developments in processing technology.
In particular, I am working on processing hard and brittle materials such as glass using lasers.
Recent Topics of Interests:
In case research funds run out, I am choosing themes that don't cost much;)
Hobby / Holiday: Mostly work!
Design Research Institute
Professor / Vice DirectorMy design theme is centered around creating vibrant environments. In the botanical setting, I focus on designing initiatives to cultivate and utilize plants, aiming to create a design that connects people's lives and fosters a sense of harmony between people and the environment. When designing children's play environments, my theme is to establish a foundation for connecting daily life and embracing a joyful life by enriching the community with play opportunities during childhood.
Recent Topics of Interest:
The design of the daily play environment for middle and upper graders of elementary school.
Motto in Research or in Life:
Embrace the requests with a willing spirit, fearlessly confront conflicts, and discover the joy of play within those challenges.
Hobby / Holiday: Since 2020, I've been prioritizing family time by taking my wife on small trips.
Center for Analytical Instrumentation, Chiba University
ProfessorI aspire to make chemistry accessible, even to junior high school students. In recent years, my focus has been on four main themes:
Exploring polymers that exhibit a gold-like color without using metals.
Researching the photochemical fixation of aerial nitrogen to create next-generation fuels from sunlight and air.
Developing electrochemical windows that can be switched between transparent and white opaque.
Investigating the chemistry of contact and frictional electrification, which remains shrouded in mystery.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Commercializing the outcomes of my current research theme.
Motto in Research or in Life:
I am researching with the aim of achieving true originality, drawing inspiration from the innovative works of Ms. Y.M.
Hobby / Holiday:
Weight training, Listening to 70's Western and new music
Faculty of Science, Chiba University
ProfessorMy primarily area of focus is coding theory, which is known as the theory of error correction. As humans, we are skilled at estimating and restoring original information, even in the presence of mishearing or misspelling―essentially, error correction. My research involves mathematically describing the conditions under which error correction is possible and developing algorithms to correct errors.
Recent Topics of Interest:
I am interested in situations where information is shortened due to errors, with missing elements, yet I strive to restore the original data. This challenge has been a global problem tackled since the 1960s. Furthermore, I am developing methods to rectify missing information in scenarios involving planar arrangements, such as array-type designed codes, as well as in the context of future technologies like quantum computing and quantum communication.
Motto in Research or in Life:
I skip what I don't like and avoid putting in any extra effort.
Quibbles and poultices stick anywhere.
Hobby / Holiday:
I watch movies or TV dramas almost every day. I prefer to watch movies in a theater, especially those that leave a strong impact on my mind. As for TV dramas, I like suspense or horror from Nordic, Korean, or American productions. Alternatively, I play and sing songs I loved during my student days on the ukulele.
Faculty of Engineering, Chiba University
ProfessorI am conducting research to elucidate the real surface structure of the electrodes involved in triggering electrocatalytic reactions at both the molecular and atomic levels.
Based on the insights gained from this investigation, my goal is to establish design principles for practical catalysts. These guidelines will facilitate the development of fuel cells and the initiation of water electrolysis processes targeted at hydrogen production.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Novel surface analysis technology, Fuel cells, Water electrolysis
Motto in Research or in Life: Always rising after a fall.
Hobby/Holiday:
Watching movies and live performances, Photo shooting
