Institute for Advanced Academic Research / Graduate School of Informatics, Chiba University
Associate ProfessorWith the advancement of deep learning and AI technologies, the gap between human and machine information processing capabilities is narrowing. My research focuses on two key aspects of human cognition: the logical reasoning systems developed over time—especially in mathematics—and the more intuitive, often ambiguous forms of information processing, such as image recognition. Human intellectual ability spans a wide dynamic range, and I aim to explore how various aspects of this intelligence can be modeled and realized through deep learning.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Mathematics—particularly computational algebra and symbolic computation—and the development of novel deep learning technologies.
Motto in Research or in Life: Three meals per day
Hobby / Holiday:
I enjoy bouldering, reading manga, playing puzzle games like Tetris, and traveling—often making the most of opportunities, such as attending academic conferences.
Institute for Advanced Academic Research / Center for Environmental Remote Sensing, Chiba University
Professor My laboratory is pursuing environmental prediction research, with a focus on various Earth environmental phenomena such as meteorological and hydrological events. I strive to advance the boundaries of this field by integrating Earth observation satellites and employing diverse prediction methods. Specifically, I am committed to enhancing and refining weather forecasts for extended periods of several weeks, and gaining a comprehensive understanding of the long-term impact of climate change on the water resource environment over a century.
To achieve my prediction refinement goals, I employ numerical simulations powered by state-of-the-art supercomputers and harness the potential of machine learning techniques. I will facilitate the fusion of forecast and observation data through statistical mathematics, including data assimilation. My ambition is to pioneer a groundbreaking environmental prediction science by conducting interdisciplinary research that spans earth science, computational science, and statistical mathematics.
Recent Topics of Interest:
Seasonal forecasting, Weather control, Social consensus building, and Optimization of observation location
Motto in Research or in Life:
The good is the enemy of the best.
Before you can inspire with emotion, you must be swamped with it yourself. Before you can move their tears, your own must flow. To convince them, you must yourself, believe.
Hobby / Holiday:
Reading books, Observing behaviors and activities of my son
Center for Frontier Medical Engineering, Chiba University
ProfessorI conduct research to contribute to health and medicine by utilizing image processing, computer vision, and virtual reality technologies. My research focuses on various areas, including the development of augmented reality (AR) technology to support high-difficulty surgical operations, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) technology, and virtual reality (VR) technology to enhance the efficiency of medical training for doctors. Additionally, I am involved in the research and development of technology using images and optics to measure biological information, such as respiration and gaze. By collaborating with physicians from different medical specialties, I am committed to developing new technologies that can promptly address the challenges in clinical settings.
