ProfessorMy study examines the relationship between science, technology, and society from various perspectives such as history, politics, risk assessment, communication, ethics, and culture.
When I was a young researcher, I initially focused on "food" and then on "energy."
Currently, I am interested in "information technology" and "life sciences". Despite my fascination with computers since childhood, I have not yet pursued a career directly related to my field.
Current Topics of Interest:
Why has AI received considerable attention?
Research and Life Motto:
Not standing in long, crowded lines—this includes a metaphorical meaning—is a guiding personal principle.
Hobbies / Holiday Activities:
Wandering leisurely around the town on a bicycle. Taking a stroll with my dog. Watching TV dramas and comedies.
Chiba University Hospital
Assistant ProfessorAn orthopedic and hand surgeon.
During my time as a medical student, I experienced a fracture in my right arm, which caused anxiety. However, I persevered and successfully returned to playing musical instruments. This personal experience motivated me to pursue further studies in Germany and the UK. Subsequently, I established the Performing Arts Medicine (PAM) clinic at Chiba University Hospital's Department of Orthopedic Surgery.
My research focuses on investigating the epidemiology of musculoskeletal disorders in musicians and analyzing the three-dimensional motion of the upper limbs. Drawing from my own experience in performing arts, including piano, violin, figure skating, and ballet, I am dedicated to providing compassionate care that caters to the needs of artists.
Recent Topics of Interest: Biomechanics of the upper limb and Performance motion analysis

Where there is a will, there is a way. Work with sincerity and integrity
Hobby / Holiday: Traveling abroad and Café-hopping. I enjoy spending relaxing time with my family on weekends.
Graduate School of Medicine, Chiba University / Health and Disease Omics Center
Professor / DirectorCells accumulate abnormalities in their genomic and epigenomic information, which can lead to diseases like cancer. The epigenome, which involves modifications to the genome, changes due to environmental factors and stress such as aging, infection, and inflammation in somewhat defined manners, resulting in cell fate alteration. Exploring and harnessing the accumulated epigenomic aberrations is a crucial step in elucidating cancer and developing novel cancer treatments.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Cancer risk diagnosis, Integrated omics analysis
Motto in Research or in Life: Insatiable inquiry and challenge
Graduate School of Science / Center for Frontier Science, Chiba University
Professor / DirectorTechnologies for storing, separating and recovering gases such as hydrogen and methane, which are clean energies, as well as carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, are essential for environmental conservation. I am researching methods that use nanomaterials to develop efficient ways to separate, recover, effectively utilize, and reduce these gases under conditions of minimal environmental impact.
Recent Topics of Interests: Development and evaluation of materials for capturing carbon dioxide from air
Motto in Research or in Life: My motto is to have fun studying and experimenting while enjoying the excitement of academics and technology.
Hobby/Holiday: My hobby is playing pop music in a band with my college friends.
Faculty of Education, Chiba University
ProfessorWith a focus on international expansion, I am developing teaching materials for physics experiment education.
My aim is to create sustainable and simple physics experiment teaching materials suitable for various environments in Asian countries. These materials will include simulations as resources for analyzing daily-life physical phenomena with non-uniformly distributed forces, as well as science-educational activities related to handmade toys and devices with inhomogeneous electromagnetic fields or transients in electrical circuits.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Improving physics education in developing countries, Finite element method simulation, Electrical circuit simulation

Graduate School of Horticulture, Chiba University
Associate ProfessorTo achieve a carbon-neutral society, it is essential to accurately assess the capacity of greenery to absorb carbon. I am researching to quantitatively evaluate the value of greenery using three-dimensional data obtained by laser technology. This research calculates the amount, spatial arrangement, and ecosystem service functions of greenery, and scientifically demonstrates the value of greenery.
Recent Topics of Interest:
・Forest fire studies: Conducting research on how greenery interacts with and controls natural disasters
・Development of forest drones: Developing advanced technologies to monitor large-scale forests in Japan more efficiently and accurately
・Promotion of citizen participation and Provision of technology for i-Tree: Advancing technological solutions to enable anyone to accurately evaluate the value of greenery
・Creation of inclusive society: Promoting democratization of technology
