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
Motto in Research or in Life:
Use all of your abilities and resources to do your best.
Hobby / Holiday:
Listening to classical music, Learning Southeast Asian languages, Running

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

Assistant ProfessorI specialize in the study of 17th-century Italian paintings, with a primary focus on the works of Artemisia Gentileschi, one of the most famous female painters of those days. My research delves into her activities in Naples, including her professional strategies, client relationships, and influence on other regional artists. Additionally, I have a keen interest in biographies of female artists from the same era and in portraitures, including self-portraits by female painters.
Recent Topics of Interest:
Naples paintings, Biographies of female artists, Portraiture (Self-portraits)
Motto in Research or in Life:
I try to maintain good health to do more prosperous studies.
Hobby / Holiday:
I spend my time playing with my pet cockatiel at home and taking care of my Medaka (Japanese rice fish).

ProfessorThe immune system is a sophisticated biological system developed for the defense of an organism, maintaining homeostasis by recognizing and eliminating pathogens and cancer cells through immune cells. In my laboratory, I aim to contribute to developing novel therapeutics for autoimmune diseases, allergies, infections, cancer, and more by focusing on the role of glycans in immune cell trafficking.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Development of novel anti-glycan monoclonal antibodies applicable for the treatment of immune-related diseases such as autoimmune and allergic diseases.
Motto in Research or in Life:
Practice makes perfect.

Assistant ProfessorI am involved in research on visualization techniques for medical care, drug discovery, batteries technology, and chemical industry processes using electrical tomography. Electrical tomography enables observation of changes in electrical properties within materials, allowing estimation of properties and condition of cells and batteries. My goal is to drive disruptive innovations in drug discovery and battery technology through this visualization technology.
Recent Topics of Interest:
・Drug discovery and development process
・Visualization of cellular pharmacokinetics
・Process monitoring and real-time control

Assistant ProfessorI specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of ankle and foot-related conditions, as well as conducting research in this field.
During my Ph.D. studies, I conducted research on the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a hot topic in sports orthopedics and regenerative medicine, to promote tendon repair following Achilles tendon rupture.
Recent Topics of Interest: Utilization of ultrasound (echo) in foot-related issues.

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:

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
