Associate ProfessorTo achieve a carbon-neutral society, it is essential to accurately assess the capacity of greenery to absorb carbon. I am researching to quantitatively evaluate the value of greenery using three-dimensional data obtained by laser technology. This research calculates the amount, spatial arrangement, and ecosystem service functions of greenery, and scientifically demonstrates the value of greenery.
Recent Topics of Interest:
・Forest fire studies: Conducting research on how greenery interacts with and controls natural disasters
・Development of forest drones: Developing advanced technologies to monitor large-scale forests in Japan more efficiently and accurately
・Promotion of citizen participation and Provision of technology for i-Tree: Advancing technological solutions to enable anyone to accurately evaluate the value of greenery
・Creation of inclusive society: Promoting democratization of technology

Professor My laboratory is pursuing environmental prediction research, with a focus on various Earth environmental phenomena such as meteorological and hydrological events. I strive to advance the boundaries of this field by integrating Earth observation satellites and employing diverse prediction methods. Specifically, I am committed to enhancing and refining weather forecasts for extended periods of several weeks, and gaining a comprehensive understanding of the long-term impact of climate change on the water resource environment over a century.
To achieve my prediction refinement goals, I employ numerical simulations powered by state-of-the-art supercomputers and harness the potential of machine learning techniques. I will facilitate the fusion of forecast and observation data through statistical mathematics, including data assimilation. My ambition is to pioneer a groundbreaking environmental prediction science by conducting interdisciplinary research that spans earth science, computational science, and statistical mathematics.
Recent Topics of Interest:
Seasonal forecasting, Weather control, Social consensus building, and Optimization of observation location
Motto in Research or in Life:
The good is the enemy of the best.
Before you can inspire with emotion, you must be swamped with it yourself. Before you can move their tears, your own must flow. To convince them, you must yourself, believe.
Hobby / Holiday:
Reading books, Observing behaviors and activities of my son
