Chiba University Hospital
Assistant ProfessorAn orthopedic and hand surgeon.
During my time as a medical student, I experienced a fracture in my right arm, which caused anxiety. However, I persevered and successfully returned to playing musical instruments. This personal experience motivated me to pursue further studies in Germany and the UK. Subsequently, I established the Performing Arts Medicine (PAM) clinic at Chiba University Hospital's Department of Orthopedic Surgery.
My research focuses on investigating the epidemiology of musculoskeletal disorders in musicians and analyzing the three-dimensional motion of the upper limbs. Drawing from my own experience in performing arts, including piano, violin, figure skating, and ballet, I am dedicated to providing compassionate care that caters to the needs of artists.
Recent Topics of Interest: Biomechanics of the upper limb and Performance motion analysis
Motto in Research or in Life:
Where there is a will, there is a way. Work with sincerity and integrity
Hobby / Holiday: Traveling abroad and Café-hopping. I enjoy spending relaxing time with my family on weekends.
Graduate School of Engineering / Center for Aerial Intelligent Vehicles, Chiba University
Professor, DirectorI am dedicated to extracting the diversity, optimality, and robustness of biological movements to explore the fundamental principles of biomechanics and understand the distinctive forms, structures, functions, and systems exhibited by living organisms. By advocating the B3 (biomechanics, biomimetics, and bioinspiration) strategy, which involves imitating and norming these principles, I aim to foster the creation of Bio-inspired Engineering. This approach drives sustainable IoT technology innovation based on energy-saving and resource-saving manufacturing, facilitating the development of products that conserve energy and resources.
Recent Topics of Interest: Biomechanics, Biomimetics, Bio-inspired engineering
Motto in Research or in Life: Learn from nature
Hobby / Holiday: Travelling to experience nature and history
Graduate School 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.
