Faculty of Education, Chiba University / Asia & ASEAN Center for Educational Research
ProfessorMy main research topic is “plant genetic resources,” including landraces and their wild relatives. I have conducted field surveys and characterization of the plant genetic resources for future conservation and utilization. For the field survey, various countries have been focused on, such as India, Nepal, and Malaysia.
In recent years, I have been working in the field of education and developing model lessons focusing on plant genetic resources with foreign collaborators. As the plant genetic resources, I am focusing on the crops which are familiar in Chiba and foreign countries.
Recent Topics of Interests:
To develop model lessons focusing on plant genetic resources, which are applicable not only to schools in Japan but also in foreign countries.
Motto in Research or in Life: With dreams, diligence, and modesty
Hobby / Holiday: To play Sumo wrestling (I was a member of the sumo club at university.)
Graduate School of Informatics, Chiba University
Associate ProfessorI aim to achieve the measurement of peripheral circulation hemodynamics using a simple color camera. Peripheral circulation hemodynamics are significantly related to both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, which means that this measurement also contributes to evaluating the balance of the autonomic nervous system. By visualizing the results obtained with the developed camera and providing feedback to the subjects, I strive to implement this technology in healthcare settings.
Recent Topics of Interest:
Biometrics, Image engineering, Information engineering, Cognitive science, Evolutionary psychology
Motto in Research or in Life:
Every cloud has a silver lining.

Assistant ProfessorFormulation research is the field dedicated to making medicines easy to take and effective in the body. I explore technologies and methods to optimize drug stability and absorption while maximizing the effects of active ingredients. My aim is to establish an effective platform for developing pharmaceutical formulations through advancements in drug delivery technology and formulation quality evaluation.
Recent Topics of Interest:
Understanding the phenomenon of drug dissolution and the formation mechanism of nanoparticle formulations.
Motto in Research or in Life:
Continuity is the father of success
Design Research Institute
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
Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chiba University
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.

Graduate School 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
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
