ProfessorI am dedicated to International Economics, with a particular focus on empirical and theoretical analysis of trade and investment in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as philosophical and ideological reflections on political economy. My research endeavors encompass individuals, society, and nature, including the global environment, with a constant awareness of their interconnectedness. I aim to pursue interdisciplinary research, striving to understand these elements as integral components of one interconnected world, although it can be a challenging endeavor.
Recent Topics of Interest:
I aspire to engage in interdisciplinary reflections on the current state and future prospects of global capitalist activities, exemplified by free trade. I aim to examine them in the context of human nature, the concept of the nation-state, and the trends in the natural environment, recognizing the inherent challenges involved.
Motto in Research or in Life:
I want to lead a purposeful life, considering what I should do as a human being within society and nature, even before being a researcher.
Hobby / Holiday:
While striving to adhere to the above-mentioned motto, I also find relaxation on the couch, indulge in long walks, and often pick up food and drinks to enjoy during my walks.

ProfessorHigh-energy phenomena, which occur in the universe beyond human creation, remain mysterious in terms of their mechanisms. Through various observations, my aim is to elucidate the origins and locations of these extraordinary events. Specifically, my research focuses on studying high-energy phenomena in space by observing neutrinos, which are elementary particles that traverse through space.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Development of Next Generation Neutrino Telescopes, Development of New Detection Techniques with Neutrino Telescopes
Motto in Research or in Life: Even if others oppose you, if you follow your curiosity, you won't regret it.
Hobby / Holiday: Reading books and listening to music

Pharmacy Division Chair / ProfessorMy research focuses on addressing various challenges encountered in clinical practice at the Division of Pharmacy, of Chiba University Hospital, and the Department of Clinical Pharmacy at the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
Specifically, I conduct both basic and clinical analyses to design drug administration strategies for critically ill patients in intensive care units and those with rare diseases.
Additionally, I am engaged in basic research on vascular cells that contribute to the onset and progression of atherosclerosis, a major underlying cause of myocardial infarction and stroke. Through these works, I aim to generate novel evidence that is currently unavailable in medical practice and, in the near future, contribute to drug development initiatives originating from our division.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Adult deterioration
Cultivating critical thinking skills
Motto in Research or in Life:
Steady but unrelenting efforts

ProfessorIn the realm of organic electronics, particularly in applications like organic EL displays, I utilize electron spectroscopy to explore the fundamental electronic structure. This involves deciphering intricate details like energy levels, electron arrangement, and packing configurations.
At the same time, my research extends to the intrinsic electrical properties of elements, aiming to enhance the performance of organic electronics through a comprehensive approach that integrates spectroscopy and elemental studies.
Engaging in multiple fields such as physics, chemistry, electronic engineering, inorganic materials, and organic materials, I pioneer unique measurement methods and devices unparalleled anywhere else in the world, thereby contributing to original research.
Beyond my research pursuits, I am actively engaged in Chiba University’s ‘Frontier Science Program,’ an academic acceleration initiative.
Recent Topics of Interests:
・Investigating the mechanism behind the spontaneous development of orientation polarization when molecules used in organic EL devices form a film
・Elucidating the mechanism that leads to the generation of frictional electricity
・Identifying the true nature of weak levels within the band gap of various materials, including inorganic, organic, and biomaterials
・Managing an academic acceleration program at Chiba University
Motto in Research or in Life:
Develop a unique device found nowhere else in the world and conduct original research.

Lecturer / Clinical Associate ProfessorI am currently conducting research aimed at unraveling the pathogenesis of uterine fibroids. Through animal experiments, I have successfully demonstrated that the simultaneous presence of sex steroid hormones, estrogen and progesterone, secreted by the ovaries, is essential for the enlargement of uterine fibroids. Furthermore, I have elucidated the mechanism by which uterine fibroids develop and expand under conditions of hypoxia.
Moving forward, my research will focus on the development of novel treatments for uterine fibroids.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Gene expression analysis of Diffuse Uterine Leiomyomatosis (DUL)
Motto in Research or in Life:

Graduate School of Informatics / Digital Transformation Enhancement Council, Chiba University
Associate ProfessorUtilizing large-scale supercomputer simulations, we conduct research on the formation and evolution of various astronomical objects, such as galaxies and large-scale structures of the universe, as well as the study of the dark matter structure within galaxies. We also develop our own high-performance parallel numerical codes and algorithms. Furthermore, we are actively involved in the public release of big data, including astronomical mock catalogs derived from simulations.
Recent Topics of Interest:
The formation of astronomical objects in the early universe and its impact on the subsequent evolution of the universe, as well as their relics in the present day
