Associate ProfessorNo two individuals share the exact same facial features, and similarly, no two individuals possess identical patterns of thought. This diversity and individual variations also exist in organisms other than humans.
My research focuses on understanding the process by which these individual differences are shaped during the evolutionary time scale. Additionally, I aim to explore the functional significance of individual variations within groups of organisms.
Recent Topics of Interest: I have keen interests not only in elucidating the functions of diversity from a biological point of view, but also in applying the “power” of diversity to the fields of industry, agriculture, and engineering.
Motto in Research or in Life: Cherishing my “unique perspective on things,” firmly believing in it, and confronting various events and phenomena. Additionally, embracing a balanced sense of self-doubt.
Hobby / Holiday: Spending time with my children

Professor / DirectorMy primary research encompasses various areas, including studying how plants respond to environmental stimuli such as gravity, light, touch, and moisture. Additionally, I investigate sex differentiation and expression of cucurbit flowers. Notably, I have rediscovered the ability of plant roots to show positive hydrotropism and clarified the unique molecular mechanisms underlying this process. Moreover, I have demonstrated the value of spaceflight experiments in enhancing our understanding of plant functionality.

I have been fascinated by peanut gynophore for a long time. After flowering, these gynophores exhibit a remarkable response to gravity as they grow downward and penetrate the soil. Despite being a part of the flower’s above-ground tissue, the gynophore behaves like a root. My particular interest lies in unveiling the mechanistic aspect of this phenomenon in peanuts, which hold a special significance as a prized product of Chiba prefecture.

Associate ProfessorI am working on the development of novel countermeasures against fungal infections by elucidating the infection mechanisms and evolutionary processes of pathogenic microorganisms, as well as the host defense responses. By integrating bioinformatics and molecular biology approaches, I aim to advance fundamental understanding of infectious diseases and translate these insights into clinical applications.

Assistant ProfessorAs a researcher, I specialize in Russian literature from the 1840s to the 1860s, with a particular interest in the intersection of literature and history, and the rewriting of Russian literary history.
Also, as a translator, I engage with a wide range of Russian literary works dating from the 19th century onwards, extending my scope beyond my primary area of expertise.
Recent Topics of Interests: A comparative literary study on the works and critiques of Apollon Grigoriev.
Hobby/Holiday: Reading and translating books. Watching movies. Listening to the radio before sleep.

ProfessorI conduct anthropological research on aging-related care in the Finnish archipelago area. Focusing especially on older adults living alone, my work examines the diverse services that support their everyday lives, along with the growing importance of kinship-based caregiving within Nordic welfare states.
I also approach life in older age from multiple perspectives, including housing, digital technology, and ongoing reforms in healthcare and social welfare systems, to gain a holistic understanding of aging in contemporary society.
Recent Topics of Interests:
• I am currently exploring issues of caregiving in remote areas, with particular attention to the transportation infrastructure that makes such care possible.
• In Finland, distinctions between public and private roads—and the presence or absence of vehicular access—can determine where administrative services are available. This is especially apparent in the archipelago, where intricate maritime transportation networks make ‘distance’ a complex and compelling concept.
• Another area of interest is summer cottages, where many Finns spend extended holidays. I study how these seasonal homes serve as sites for intergenerational connection and how people’s relationships with their summer cottages evolve as they age.

Assistant ProfessorMy research centers on creating solar radiation estimation algorithms that utilize neural networks based on radiative transfer calculations. In 2007, I initiated semi-real-time solar radiation analysis using Himawari data, leading to the development of AMATERASS. I am deeply engaged in exploring aerosol–cloud–radiation climate feedbacks.
Following the Great East Japan Earthquake, I began providing technical support for renewable energy projects, particularly in solar power generation and solar heat utilization, by applying solar radiation estimation algorithms. Currently, my research is dedicated to developing new learning algorithms for satellite analysis.
