Professor Though liquid crystals (LCs) make people think of LC displays, my laboratory performs a wide range of LC research without limiting the subject to displays.
My goal is to develop new functionalities and applications in LC materials. To achieve this, I conduct research in LC areas such as molecular design, organic synthesis, investigation of molecular assembly states, and performance evaluation.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Developing methods for creating nano-level recording devices and nanostructures, while also searching for materials that exhibit spontaneous optically active.
Motto in Research or in Life:
Let's do what we find fun in both research and work.
Hobby / Holiday:
Spending time with my family and, occasionally, working out
Future Medicine Education and Research Organization, Chiba University / Chiba University Hospital
Distinguished ProfessorAfter graduating from the Nihon University’s School of Dentistry at Matsudo in 1977, and during the time of the doctoral program in medical sciences at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) in 1983, I started my significant research career by contributing to the launch of the “Mucosal Immunology” as a scientist at the UAB and the Max Planck Institute for Biology. While pursuing my research career as an immunologist, especially in the advancement of mucosal immunology and vaccinology, I also trained and educated the next-generation physician-scientists, students, and researchers as a professor at UAB, Osaka University and the University of Tokyo, and now University of California San Diego (UCSD) and Chiba University. In addition to my research and academic careers, I also contributed my expertise to leading the Institute of Medical Science as Associate Dean and Dean at the University of Tokyo,
My background as a dentist combined with extensive research experience in the field of Mucosal Immunology makes me exceptionally well qualified to lead and advance the current and future directions of mucosal immunology and mucosal vaccine development. I and my research team has also actively facilitated the development of the next-generation vaccines, the oral and nasal vaccines, which are now in critical pre-clinical and clinical trial stages.
These include efforts in developing practical applications such as “MucoRice,” the rice-based oral vaccine, and the “cationic nanogel” nasal vaccine. Currently, I am dedicated to advancing the practical development of “oral and nasal vaccines” at Chiba University.
Recent Topics of Interest: Mucosal immunology, Mucosal vaccines

Institute for Advanced Academic Research / Center for Environmental Remote Sensing, Chiba University
Professor My laboratory is pursuing environmental prediction research, with a focus on various Earth environmental phenomena such as meteorological and hydrological events. I strive to advance the boundaries of this field by integrating Earth observation satellites and employing diverse prediction methods. Specifically, I am committed to enhancing and refining weather forecasts for extended periods of several weeks, and gaining a comprehensive understanding of the long-term impact of climate change on the water resource environment over a century.
To achieve my prediction refinement goals, I employ numerical simulations powered by state-of-the-art supercomputers and harness the potential of machine learning techniques. I will facilitate the fusion of forecast and observation data through statistical mathematics, including data assimilation. My ambition is to pioneer a groundbreaking environmental prediction science by conducting interdisciplinary research that spans earth science, computational science, and statistical mathematics.
Recent Topics of Interest:
Seasonal forecasting, Weather control, Social consensus building, and Optimization of observation location
Motto in Research or in Life:
The good is the enemy of the best.
Before you can inspire with emotion, you must be swamped with it yourself. Before you can move their tears, your own must flow. To convince them, you must yourself, believe.
