Associate ProfessorI am studying partial differential equations that illustrate aggregation processes in biological systems. The main equation of my research is the Keller-Segel system, which describes the aggregation mechanism of cellular slime molds. These molds have both unicellular and multicellular life stages. Specifically, when food becomes scarce, these cells release chemical substances and move toward higher chemical concentrations through chemotaxis, forming multicellular groups. I focus on the mathematical analysis of the conditions under which these aggregates form.
Recent Topics of Interests:
I am currently interested in the fundamental analysis of partial differential equations that describe how cancer cells invade normal cells.
Motto in Research or in Life:
If you don't understand something, start by thinking it through on your own. If you still don't get it, ask openly and honestly.

Graduate School of Global and Transdisciplinary Studies, Chiba University
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.

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

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.
