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.

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

ProfessorEven within an adult individual, proteins undergo a continuous cycle of synthesis and degradation, maintaining a clean internal environment through constant metabolism.
However, the accumulation of misfolded proteins leads to aging and neurological diseases.
My goal is to elucidate how the cleaning system removes waste proteins and keeps the internal environment clean.
Recent Topics of Interests: Quality control and degradation mechanisms of extracellular misfolded proteins

ProfessorI am conducting research on the ‘therapeutic benefits of plants’ such as horticultural therapy, aromatherapy, and forest therapy. Additionally, I’m investigating the ‘greening of medical and welfare facilities,’ including hospitals and elderly care facilities, where these practices are implemented. Furthermore, I am researching ‘community care through greenery,’ aiming to utilize green spaces such as local parks for the health of residents.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Exploring the healing effects of ancient Japanese practices like flower arrangement and tea ceremony.
Cultivating parks featuring flowerbeds that visitors can freely enjoy picking.
Transforming urban green spaces into functional work environments.
Designing the landscape that makes food taste better.
