Center for Environmental Remote Sensing, Chiba University
Assistant ProfessorMy research centers on creating solar radiation estimation algorithms that utilize neural networks based on radiative transfer calculations. In 2007, I initiated semi-real-time solar radiation analysis using Himawari data, leading to the development of AMATERASS. I am deeply engaged in exploring aerosol–cloud–radiation climate feedbacks.
Following the Great East Japan Earthquake, I began providing technical support for renewable energy projects, particularly in solar power generation and solar heat utilization, by applying solar radiation estimation algorithms. Currently, my research is dedicated to developing new learning algorithms for satellite analysis.

ProfessorMy research interests are lives in snow and ice of glaciers and snowpacks. What kinds of lives are on snow and ice? What are they doing? And why do they live in such harsh conditions of snow and ice? These are the questions and motivations of my research.
To explore these topics, I am conducting fieldwork in various locations across the world, including snowy mountains in Japan, glaciers in the Himalayas, Central Asia, and the Arctic. I am utilizing a combination of physical, chemical, and biological analyses to explore the fascinating and unknown snow and ice ecosystems.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Biosphere and geosphere interaction, Climate change, Humanity in environmental change

Assistant ProfessorTrees grow on relatively long scales, resulting in the expansion of the timber segment. To promote sustainable timber usage, it is essential to go beyond forest management and understand the types and diversity of timber. My research focuses on exploring the diversity of wood produced due to individual variations in trees and their growing environments.
Additionally, I am involved in developing and implementing educational materials that address these issues.
Recent Topics of Interests: Dynamic Rationality of Trees
Motto in Research or in Life:
While it’s important to ponder, it is equally crucial to try things firsthand. Being able to shift your mindset when your efforts don’t yield the desired outcome is also a valuable skill.

I enjoy spending the majority of my time with my children.
Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chiba University
Assistant ProfessorElements are the fundamental building blocks of matter, consisting of atoms. To date, scientists have discovered 118 different elements. Currently, I am developing measurement techniques for these elements utilizing an instrument known as an Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS). Through these techniques, my research aims to elucidate the metabolic pathways of elements within living organisms.
Recent Topics of Interests:
A method to accurately measure trace amounts of elements contained within a single nanoparticle or a single cell
Motto in Research or in Life:
Utilizing the lessons from past failures to pave the way for success.

Associate ProfessorOn the Earth’s surface, various substances ubiquitously migrate and/or concentrate in a given environment. My primary research focus is the origin and migration dynamics of these substances, particularly methane, iodine, plastic, and others, in groundwater/seawater from a geological and geochemical perspective.
Recent Topics of Interest:
・Correlation between oceanic environmental changes and the growth/dissolution of methane hydrate
・Changes in seafloor environments around methane seepage
・Processes of iodine migration and concentration in sediment pore water
