ProfessorI am undertaking the challenges of creating novel energy materials, energy storage devices, resource recycling processes, and operando analysis techniques that contribute to achieving the SDGs. This involves skillfully combining the enigmatic liquid salts—ionic liquids and molten salts—composed solely of ions with common elements.
Recent Topics of Interest:
I want to contribute to society using technologies related to Planet 6.0, specifically with ionic liquids and molten salts!
Motto in Research or in Life:
Turn everything into profit. There’s got to be something!
Hobby / Holiday:
Working out, Watching sports, Enjoying budget-friendly food crawls

ProfessorMy main research topic is “plant genetic resources,” including landraces and their wild relatives. I have conducted field surveys and characterization of the plant genetic resources for future conservation and utilization. For the field survey, various countries have been focused on, such as India, Nepal, and Malaysia.
In recent years, I have been working in the field of education and developing model lessons focusing on plant genetic resources with foreign collaborators. As the plant genetic resources, I am focusing on the crops which are familiar in Chiba and foreign countries.
Recent Topics of Interests:
To develop model lessons focusing on plant genetic resources, which are applicable not only to schools in Japan but also in foreign countries.
Motto in Research or in Life: With dreams, diligence, and modesty
Hobby / Holiday: To play Sumo wrestling (I was a member of the sumo club at university.)
Graduate School of Engineering, Chiba University
Associate ProfessorI find joy in creating molecules and have broad interests across various research fields. My current research focuses on organic–inorganic hybrid materials that combine the properties of both classes of substances, metal-free materials with metallic luster, and the synthesis of organic compounds and metal complexes with unique structures and physical properties. I also aim to implement the materials I develop in real-world applications.
Recent Topics of Interest:
• Metal-free materials with metallic luster
• Thermal insulation materials
• Materials that convert heat into other forms of energy
and more!
Motto in Research or in Life:
Do what brings you both joy and fascination
Be kind to others and strict with myself—though I’m still working on that!
Hobby / Holiday:
Playing sports (especially soccer), mountain climbing (currently on hiatus), and laid-back camping

ProfessorPrograms are instructions for computers to perform computations. They are written by programmers, but discrepancies between a programmer’s intention and the actual behavior of the program—commonly known as bugs—often occur. My research focuses on exploring programming languages that can accurately express human intent and developing methods to ensure that programs behave as intended.
Recent Topics of Interest:
Theoretical aspects of program verification, Quantum superposition of programs, Causality theory in programs

Associate ProfessorI aim to achieve the measurement of peripheral circulation hemodynamics using a simple color camera. Peripheral circulation hemodynamics are significantly related to both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, which means that this measurement also contributes to evaluating the balance of the autonomic nervous system. By visualizing the results obtained with the developed camera and providing feedback to the subjects, I strive to implement this technology in healthcare settings.
Recent Topics of Interest:
Biometrics, Image engineering, Information engineering, Cognitive science, Evolutionary psychology

Assistant ProfessorFormulation research is the field dedicated to making medicines easy to take and effective in the body. I explore technologies and methods to optimize drug stability and absorption while maximizing the effects of active ingredients. My aim is to establish an effective platform for developing pharmaceutical formulations through advancements in drug delivery technology and formulation quality evaluation.
Recent Topics of Interest:
Understanding the phenomenon of drug dissolution and the formation mechanism of nanoparticle formulations.

Continuity is the father of success
Design Research Institute, Chiba University
Professor / DirectorDesign is the science and practice that enriches human life. I will ‘learn’ about people’s lives and conduct surveys, research, propose ideas, and engage in practical activities to improve their lives. This is what we call ’lifestyle design based on the reconfirmation and re-recognition of local resources.’ Furthermore, as an extension of this concept, I am promoting the advancement of ‘dri activities centered around the Sumida Satellite Campus.’
Recent Topics of Interest:
Life design for coexistence with diverse environments and cultures, Co-creation design
Motto in Research or in Life:
Go into the fields, learn about life, and create a life together.
Hobby / Holiday:
Experiencing diverse cultures, Listening to jazz, Watching movies (not so often these days), Getting some sleep, Reading research papers, Making a plan

ProfessorRadiopharmaceuticals are drugs that contain radionuclides. Radionuclides that emit radiation with high tissue penetration are suited for diagnostic purposes, while those releasing cytotoxic radiation can serve therapeutic purposes. My goal is to advance the development of cutting-edge radiopharmaceuticals by engineering technologies that deliver these radionuclides precisely to the target tissues.
Recent Topics of Interests:
・Innovating radiopharmaceuticals that seamlessly combine diagnosis and treatment
・Developing therapeutic agents based on radioactive metal complexes
・Enhancing the efficient detection of alpha radiation
Motto in Research or in Life: Just give it a try.

Graduate School of Horticulture, Chiba University
Associate ProfessorI study fungi that parasitize plants and cause disease. The mechanisms by which these fungi induce disease in plants are still not well understood. By elucidating these processes and gaining deeper insight into the biology of the fungi, I aim to develop disease control strategies that do not rely solely on pesticides—or that enable more effective and targeted use of them. Through research on plant diseases, I also hope to better understand the complex interactions among microorganisms, plants, and the environment.
Recent Topics of Interest:
Phytobiome, Biological interactions, Ecological control, Biological control
