ProfessorMy study examines the relationship between science, technology, and society from various perspectives such as history, politics, risk assessment, communication, ethics, and culture.
When I was a young researcher, I initially focused on "food" and then on "energy."
Currently, I am interested in "information technology" and "life sciences". Despite my fascination with computers since childhood, I have not yet pursued a career directly related to my field.
Current Topics of Interest:
Why has AI received considerable attention?
Research and Life Motto:
Not standing in long, crowded lines—this includes a metaphorical meaning—is a guiding personal principle.
Hobbies / Holiday Activities:
Wandering leisurely around the town on a bicycle. Taking a stroll with my dog. Watching TV dramas and comedies.
Chiba University Hospital
Assistant ProfessorAn orthopedic and hand surgeon.
During my time as a medical student, I experienced a fracture in my right arm, which caused anxiety. However, I persevered and successfully returned to playing musical instruments. This personal experience motivated me to pursue further studies in Germany and the UK. Subsequently, I established the Performing Arts Medicine (PAM) clinic at Chiba University Hospital's Department of Orthopedic Surgery.
My research focuses on investigating the epidemiology of musculoskeletal disorders in musicians and analyzing the three-dimensional motion of the upper limbs. Drawing from my own experience in performing arts, including piano, violin, figure skating, and ballet, I am dedicated to providing compassionate care that caters to the needs of artists.
Recent Topics of Interest: Biomechanics of the upper limb and Performance motion analysis
Motto in Research or in Life:
Where there is a will, there is a way. Work with sincerity and integrity
Hobby / Holiday: Traveling abroad and Café-hopping. I enjoy spending relaxing time with my family on weekends.
Graduate School of Medicine, Chiba University / Health and Disease Omics Center
Professor / DirectorCells accumulate abnormalities in their genomic and epigenomic information, which can lead to diseases like cancer. The epigenome, which involves modifications to the genome, changes due to environmental factors and stress such as aging, infection, and inflammation in somewhat defined manners, resulting in cell fate alteration. Exploring and harnessing the accumulated epigenomic aberrations is a crucial step in elucidating cancer and developing novel cancer treatments.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Cancer risk diagnosis, Integrated omics analysis
Motto in Research or in Life: Insatiable inquiry and challenge
Graduate School of Science / Center for Frontier Science, Chiba University
Professor / DirectorTechnologies for storing, separating and recovering gases such as hydrogen and methane, which are clean energies, as well as carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, are essential for environmental conservation. I am researching methods that use nanomaterials to develop efficient ways to separate, recover, effectively utilize, and reduce these gases under conditions of minimal environmental impact.
Recent Topics of Interests: Development and evaluation of materials for capturing carbon dioxide from air
Motto in Research or in Life: My motto is to have fun studying and experimenting while enjoying the excitement of academics and technology.
Hobby/Holiday: My hobby is playing pop music in a band with my college friends.
Graduate School of Horticulture, Chiba University
Associate ProfessorTo achieve a carbon-neutral society, it is essential to accurately assess the capacity of greenery to absorb carbon. I am researching to quantitatively evaluate the value of greenery using three-dimensional data obtained by laser technology. This research calculates the amount, spatial arrangement, and ecosystem service functions of greenery, and scientifically demonstrates the value of greenery.
Recent Topics of Interest:
・Forest fire studies: Conducting research on how greenery interacts with and controls natural disasters
・Development of forest drones: Developing advanced technologies to monitor large-scale forests in Japan more efficiently and accurately
・Promotion of citizen participation and Provision of technology for i-Tree: Advancing technological solutions to enable anyone to accurately evaluate the value of greenery
・Creation of inclusive society: Promoting democratization of technology

You can be the change which you would like to see in the world. （by Mahatma Gandhi）
Hobby / Holiday:
I cherish the time without television and a smartphone, making efforts to disconnect from current technology and prioritize self-refreshment.
Faculty of Education, Chiba University
ProfessorWith a focus on international expansion, I am developing teaching materials for physics experiment education.
My aim is to create sustainable and simple physics experiment teaching materials suitable for various environments in Asian countries. These materials will include simulations as resources for analyzing daily-life physical phenomena with non-uniformly distributed forces, as well as science-educational activities related to handmade toys and devices with inhomogeneous electromagnetic fields or transients in electrical circuits.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Improving physics education in developing countries, Finite element method simulation, Electrical circuit simulation
Motto in Research or in Life:
Use all of your abilities and resources to do your best.
Hobby / Holiday:
Listening to classical music, Learning Southeast Asian languages, Running
Graduate School of Humanities, Chiba University
Assistant ProfessorI specialize in the study of 17th-century Italian paintings, with a primary focus on the works of Artemisia Gentileschi, one of the most famous female painters of those days. My research delves into her activities in Naples, including her professional strategies, client relationships, and influence on other regional artists. Additionally, I have a keen interest in biographies of female artists from the same era and in portraitures, including self-portraits by female painters.
Recent Topics of Interest:
Naples paintings, Biographies of female artists, Portraiture (Self-portraits)
Motto in Research or in Life:
I try to maintain good health to do more prosperous studies.
Hobby / Holiday:
I spend my time playing with my pet cockatiel at home and taking care of my Medaka (Japanese rice fish).
Institute for Advanced Academic Research / Graduate School of Medicine, Chiba University
ProfessorMy research focuses on developing and applying minimally invasive, everyday measurement methods, such as wearable devices and saliva-based testing, alongside advancing AI and mathematical analysis technologies for the early detection and prediction of diseases.
I mainly target infectious diseases, inflammatory diseases, and lifestyle-related illnesses, which often arise and progress due to multifactorial causes. Through the integrating large-scale clinical data, specimen collection, and cutting-edge AI and data science technologies, I purse researching on disease stratification as well as disease onset and prognosis prediction.
Recent Topics of Interest:
・ Health and disease assessment using time-series data (moving beyond single-point test values to gain deeper insights)
・ Dynamic causal inference (potentially valuable for selecting treatments tailored to evolving pathological conditions, transitioning from prediction to intervention).
・ Mathematical optimization (to explore experimental and treatment conditions that have traditionally been determined empirically.)
Motto in Research or in Life:
・ Strategically placing stones towards a big goal.
・ Considering myself as one of the pawns to maximize research outcomes.
・ Students and research fellows are also equal collaborators.
・ The purpose of research is not to gain achievements or fame but to contribute to society by uncovering and implementing the truth.
Hobby / Holiday:
I have enjoyed playing the drums for 20years. I also value spending with my family solving puzzles, including escape games and other challenges.
Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chiba University
ProfessorThe immune system is a sophisticated biological system developed for the defense of an organism, maintaining homeostasis by recognizing and eliminating pathogens and cancer cells through immune cells. In my laboratory, I aim to contribute to developing novel therapeutics for autoimmune diseases, allergies, infections, cancer, and more by focusing on the role of glycans in immune cell trafficking.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Development of novel anti-glycan monoclonal antibodies applicable for the treatment of immune-related diseases such as autoimmune and allergic diseases.
