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.

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.

Graduate School of Nursing, Chiba University
ProfessorI am conducting research focused on developing and implementing predictive models for assessing the risk of patient falls and pressure ulcers using electronic medical record (EMR) data. My work also involves creating functionalities to detect potential oversights in radiology interpretation results and integrating infusion pump data with EMRs using HL7 FHIR standards, all contributing to enhanced patient safety. Additionally, I am engaged in the development and evaluation of allergen glossaries and other functional advancements.
Recent Topics of Interest:
・Digital transformation in healthcare
・Leveraging government data, notification data, and open data related for nursing management

Graduate School of Horticulture, Chiba University
ProfessorMy research mainly focuses on the following two areas:
1）Expanding social farming 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:
・Social Farming for individuals with disabilities, social withdrawal, and elderly with dementia
・Enterprise support for social farming initiatives
・Wheat production and processing through social farming
