Institute for Advanced Academic Research / Graduate School of Horticulture, Chiba University
Tenure Track Associate ProfessorI am collaborating with the Institute of Fruit Tree and Tea Science, National Agriculture and Food Research Organization, to conduct research aimed at developing efficient breeding methods for fruit trees using genomic information. Specifically, I am working on the development of a method called genomic selection (GS), which predicts the characteristics of future fruits, such as pericarp color and fruit weight, at the seedling stage, enabling early selection.
Recent Topics of Interest:
I am interested in researching how to extract essential information from big data, such as genomes and images, and how to utilize this information for the breeding of fruit trees.
Motto in Research or in Life: Practice makes perfect. Constant dripping wears away a stone.
Hobby / Holiday: I enjoy spending time with children, homemaking, and swimming.
Graduate School of Horticulture, Chiba University
LecturerMy research focuses on the analysis of the synthetic pathways of plant pigments, and the isolation and functional identification of the enzyme genes that synthesize them. Of particular interest are the enzymes that synthesize pigments with unique structures, often found only in specific plant species.
Recent Topics of Interest:
Modifying enzyme function
Construction of a pathway for the synthesis of pigments in other plants
Motto in Research or in Life:
I pursue work that genuinely sparks my curiosity.
Hobby / Holiday:

Graduate School of Engineering, Chiba University
ProfessorMy research focuses on exploring various topics: the relationship between color and object surface perception and the recognition of spatial and lighting cues, the adaptivity of vision in different environments, the diversity of color vision, and the perception of skin color and texture. The ultimate goal is to unravel the mechanisms behind human visual information processing and apply them to engineering applications. To achieve this, I employ psychophysical techniques that involve presenting individuals with diverse visual stimuli and analyzing their responses and evaluation results.
Recent Topics of Interest:
The relationship between the color and distribution of lighting, and the overall appearance of objects. International comparison of skin color and texture recognition. The variations and diversity in color vision among individuals.
Motto in Research or in Life: The truth is out there. There's no such thing as luck. Que Sera, Sera.
Hobby / Holiday: Appreciation of Art, Movies, Theater, and TV Dramas
