ProfessorI am conducting research aimed at creating ‘meaningful structures’ in the mesoscale, which connects the nanoscale and microscale, through the assembly of molecules.
Given that crucial functions within living organisms heavily rely on mesoscale structures, my goal is to artificially fabricate such structures to generate novel functionalities.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Development of a method to assemble nanostructures into more complex hierarchical structures
Motto in Research or in Life:
Not being afraid to fail
Respecting others
Hobby / Holiday: Searching for addicting music, Going out to places my kids love
Faculty of Engineering, Chiba University
Associate ProfessorI am conducting research with the aim of developing innovative processes that transform underutilized waste materials and natural products into functional substances. This involves modifying crystal and surface structures to release useful substances or generate new functionalities. In addition, through the evaluation of these newly obtained materials, I am exploring ways to create novel materials and innovative approaches to material science.
Recent Topics of Interest:
Recovery and conversion techniques of valuable materials from waste composite materials
Development of salt-trapping materials for soil recovery in salt-damaged areas
Advancement of resource engineering technology for space exploration
Motto in Research or in Life:
If you know your enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.
Hobby / Holiday: Tennis, Watching sports
Faculty of Engineering, Chiba University
Associate ProfessorI am researching to characterize molecules by simulation and NMR. Utilizing the findings from these investigations, I am addressing social issues such as disposal of high-level radioactive waste, the development of next-generation storage batteries, and carbon dioxide fixation. To contribute to society and identify new challenges, I actively collaborate with various industries and share my research outcomes.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Data science, Carbonation reaction, Molecular conformational representation
Motto in Research or in Life:
DEGEIKO (Seek challenges and learn from others)
Promotion and Advocacy of Emacs and FreeBSD
Hobby / Holiday:
Surfing. Goal: to surf abroad at least once a year.
Judo. Goal: to continue practicing with my child even when he reaches high school.
Faculty of Engineering, Chiba University
ProfessorUtilizing the capabilities of holography, which allow us to control light freely, my research primarily focuses on the development of three-dimensional displays and cameras that leverage this technology.
Recently, I have also conducted research involving optical neural networks, single-pixel cameras, high-speed optical communications, and the generation of uniquely shaped beams.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Information processing using light and other physical phenomena
Motto in Research or in Life:
Give it a try without overthinking it.
Hobby / Holiday:
Listening to music (Heavy metal, Progressive rock, Jazz), Watching movies, Reading, House cleaning, Gardening cleanup
Faculty of Engineering / Center for Aerial Intelligent Vehicles, Chiba University
Associate ProfessorWith engineering tools such as computational simulations and robotics, I am investigating how flying animals such as insects and birds utilize air to achieve their goals, including efficient long-distance flight, stable flight in disturbance, efficient localization of food and mates, and others. Based on the knowledge and insights gained from these studies, I am also trying to develop bio-inspired robots.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Insect and bird flight without flapping
Olfactory and auditory navigation in insects
Motto in Research or in Life:
Self-centeredness
A rolling stone gathers no moss
Hobby / Holiday:
I engage in programming for my research or go outside with my camera to take pictures of birds and insects (thanks MICRO FOURTHIRDS for the compactness!). Taking pictures is enjoyable as it lets me appreciate the beauty of nature more clearly than seeing with my poor eyesight. Additionally, I have a keen interest in watching foreign dramas and shogi (Japanese chess) matches.
Faculty of Engineering, Chiba University
Associate ProfessorI am conducting research on the functionality of a single magnetic atom or molecule on the surface of solid materials, such as magnetic substances and superconductors, as a quantum bit or quantum sensor for the next generation of quantum computers. Additionally, I have developed a distinctive scanning tunneling microscope capable of directly observing the quantum states of the smallest atomic and molecular structures. My current focus is on actively contributing to the development of novel quantum materials.
Recent Topics of Interest: The development of a quantum bit network utilizing atom and molecule
Motto in Research or in Life: Persist in what I like.
Hobby / Holiday: Research, Sacred Site Visits
Faculty of Engineering, Chiba University
ProfessorA quarter of a century has passed since I obtained my Doctor of Engineering degree in 1996 and embarked on my career as a researcher. In contemporary terms, I have been engaged in research activities aimed at achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through collaborations with various industries, I have gained numerous learning opportunities.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Urban mine recycling, especially focused on precious metals and rare metals. Creation of a carbon-neutral society.
Motto in Research or in Life:
It's often preferable to take action and potentially fail rather than live with the regret of not having tried at all.
Hobby / Holiday:
Golf, Mahjong, Mountain Climbing. I try to make time for enjoying those hobbies as much as possible in order to extend healthy life expectancy.
Faculty of Engineering, Chiba University
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.
Motto in Research or in Life: The truth is out there. There's no such thing as luck. Que Sera, Sera.
Hobby / Holiday: Appreciation of Art, Movies, Theater, and TV Dramas
Faculty of Engineering, Chiba University
ProfessorI am dedicated to addressing issues related to the safety of infrastructure facilities, particularly lifeline systems such as roads, water, and gas, in response to natural disasters including earthquakes, with the goal of mitigating their impact.
Recent Topics of Interests:
