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.
Hobby / Holiday: Bowling

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
Graduate School of Humanities, Chiba University
Associate ProfessorI am conducting research on the mechanisms and evolutionary processes of cognitive abilities by studying the similarities and differences between human cognitive abilities and those of non-human animals through behavioral experiments. My current focus is primarily on areas such as memory, metacognition, and understanding of physical causal relationships.
Recent Topics of Interest: Metacognition, Episodic memory, Naive physics
Hobby / Holiday: Video call with my parents' cats, Songwriting
Institute for Advanced Academic Research / Graduate School of Engineering, Chiba University
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
Medical Mycology Research Center, Chiba University
Associate ProfessorCollection, preservation, identification, and characterization of fungi pathogenic to humans:
Certain types of fungi cause infections in humans, including skin infections such as athlete's foot and respiratory tract infections. These infections commonly affect immunocompromised patients and may invade the respiratory systems, such as the lungs.
These pathogenic fungi are collected in collaboration with medical institutions, analyzed for their species and characteristics, including drug sensitivity, and preserved.
Recent Topics of Interest:
Distribution of drug-resistant Trichophyton and its mechanism of action
Motto in Research or in Life: Persistence is power (Keep steady without giving up)
Hobby / Holiday: Kendo, Iaido training, Sward Appreciation, Reading, Cooking
Graduate School 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
Graduate School of Engineering, Chiba University
Associate ProfessorCarbon materials such as graphite and activated carbon have been produced for a long time. In the past several decades, nanocarbons such as graphene and carbon nanotubes have also been studied. To enhance the performance of these materials, it is essential to introduce elements other than carbon, which adds complexity to their structure. Therefore, I am conducting applied research on structurally controlled carbon materials, focusing on developing techniques for structural control and analysis.
Recent Topics of Interests: Unraveling the mysteries of high-performance carbon materials
Hobby/Holiday: Going out with my children
Graduate School of Engineering, Chiba University
ProfessorMy research has focused on microfabrication techniques for applications in materials development, biotechnology, and clinical diagnostics. One of our goals is to achieve precision bio-manipulation that could not be achieved with bulk-scale devices and systems. My research interests include, but are not limited to, the development of advanced systems for precise cell sorting using microfluidic devices, the fabrication of biomaterials for mammalian cell culture, and materials for rapid diagnosis of pathogens.
