ProfessorMy research focuses on exploring various topics: the relationship between color and object surface perception and the recognition of spatial and lighting cues, the adaptivity of vision in different environments, the diversity of color vision, and the perception of skin color and texture. The ultimate goal is to unravel the mechanisms behind human visual information processing and apply them to engineering applications. To achieve this, I employ psychophysical techniques that involve presenting individuals with diverse visual stimuli and analyzing their responses and evaluation results.
Recent Topics of Interest:
The relationship between the color and distribution of lighting, and the overall appearance of objects. International comparison of skin color and texture recognition. The variations and diversity in color vision among individuals.

Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chiba University
Professor We are conducting research on the preparation and evaluation of solid dispersion formulations, nanoparticle formulations, and self-emulsifying formulations with the aim of improving the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs. Our focus is on clarifying drug elution and membrane permeation mechanisms from these formulations at the molecular level, contributing to formulation development.
The formulation and physical property evaluation technology in our laboratory is also applied to various fields, including food, cosmetics, and agrochemical-related industries.

Graduate School of Science / Membrane Protein Research Center, Chiba University
Professor, DirectorMembrane proteins play important roles in intercellular communication and are crucial targets for drug discovery. It is known that over 60% of commercially available drugs act on membrane proteins. In 2022, Chiba University established a research center dedicated to membrane protein research, where we focus on the production of membrane proteins, the development of structure-function analysis techniques, and the development of new drugs.

Center for Environmental Remote Sensing, Chiba University
Assistant ProfessorMy research themes focus on the water cycle, including precipitation and river runoff. During my doctoral studies, I examined the relationship between geological characteristics of river basins and human activities, and their effect on water dynamics.
Currently, I am also working to enhance global precipitation estimates integrating various observations, such as rain gauges and satellite measurements using data assimilation.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Advancing precipitation estimation and Non-Gaussian data assimilation
Motto in Research or in Life:
Enjoy the "unexpected"
