ProfessorI am elucidating the physical properties of halide perovskites―materials gaining significant attention for their potential in solar cells and light-emitting devices―using advanced laser spectroscopy. Additionally, I am pursuing unprecedented and innovative applications, such as optical cooling, leveraging the unique properties of this new semiconductor.
Recent Topics of Interests: Quantum optics, Thermodynamics
Motto in Research or in Life: Finding enjoyment in everything
Hobby / Holiday: Light resistance training, spending time with my children, gardening
Center for Frontier Medical Engineering, Chiba University
ProfessorIn my research, I leverage newly developed ultrasound systems and advanced signal analysis methods to evaluate the relationship between tissue properties and acoustic characteristics across multiple scales, ranging from whole organs to individual cells. I integrate these findings with mechanical and biochemical data to gain a comprehensive understanding of the biophysical properties of various tissues. Through this approach, I aim to achieve the ‘standardization of image diagnosis’ and enable ‘non-invasive definitive diagnosis using ultrasound alone,’ independent of factors such as equipment and settings.
Recent Topics of Interests:
I am interested in the broad spectrum of biological wave phenomena, spanning from ultrasound waves to particle behaviors.
Motto in Research or in Life:
Action is the first step, Ubuntu
Hobby / Holiday:
Researching food cultures, Taking care of the Aquarium
Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chiba University
ProfessorMy research focuses on elucidating the molecular mechanisms by which plants produce a diverse range of compounds that can serve as medicines or poisons. By studying the genetic aspects of catalytic enzymes involved in substance production, regulatory factors, and proteins responsible for substance transport and self-resistance, I aim to shed light on the evolutionary pathways in this process.
Recent Topics of Interest: Relationship between biodiversity and human society: How should human society be in the order of the natural world, and what will happen in the future?
Motto in Research or in Life: A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Hobby / Holiday: Leisurely unwind and enjoy
Medical Mycology Research Center / Research Institute of Disaster Medicine, Chiba University
ProfessorInfectious diseases caused by RNA viruses, such as COVID-19 and Influenza, are significant threats to our daily lives. In order to overcome them, I am working on analyzing the physiological significance and molecular mechanism of anti-viral signaling induced by host RNA sensors in our innate immune system and trying to gain valuable insights that can contribute to developing therapeutic strategies for emerging infectious diseases.
Recent Topics of Interest: Interaction between Anti-viral and Stress Responses
Graduate School of Horticulture, Chiba University
ProfessorMy research mainly focuses on the following two areas:
1）Expanding agriculture-welfare collaboration initiatives, which aim to provide opportunities for individuals with disabilities to work and remain in agriculture-related fields through collaborative efforts between the agriculture and welfare sectors
2）Implementing food system initiatives necessary to increase domestic wheat and barley production, addressing food security concerns within the unstable international environment
Current Topics of Interest:
・Agriculture-welfare collaboration for individuals with disabilities, social withdrawal, and elderly with dementia
・Enterprise support for agriculture-welfare collaboration initiatives
・Wheat production and processing through agriculture-welfare collaboration
Research and Life Motto:
Research Motto: Practice over theory
Life Motto: Every experience counts
Hobbies / Holiday Activities:
Listening to rock music, Watching professional baseball games and movies, Traveling, Walking, Dining out
Institute for Advanced Academic Research / Graduate School of Medicine, Chiba University
Associate ProfessorI conduct research aimed at discovering diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets through integrating clinical information and omics data, such as comprehensive gene expression (transcriptome) and protein expression (proteome) using clinical specimens. Additionally, I work on elucidating the regulatory mechanisms of gene expression during the differentiation process by using cell models.
Recent Topics of Interests: Stratification and prognostication of disease based on omics data
Motto in Research or in Life: Spirit of a rag (a willingness to contribute to society even at the cost of personal sacrifice)
Hobby / Holiday: I feel happiest when I spend time with my family.
Center for Frontier Medical Engineering, Chiba University
ProfessorI am researching fundamental and applied robotics technologies to develop systems that enhance healthcare and well-being. My focus is on creating human-oriented systems that account for the dynamic characteristics of medical robot users, the objects they interact with, their operating environments, the modes of medical intervention, and the interactions among these elements.
Recent Topics of Interest:
Technology to support home healthcare, including home medical and nursing care, and home rehabilitation
Motto in Research or in Life:
Just like a boat sailing against the current, if you don’t move forward, you’ll go backward. (It is essential to continuously make efforts and always strive to move forward without neglecting diligence.)
Hobby / Holiday:
Working and watching sports
