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.

ProfessorEver since my undergraduate days, when I first encountered brilliant luminescence from rare earth complexes, I have been captivated by the beauty of their luminescence. Driven by this fascination, my research focuses on harnessing and controlling this unique luminescence through external stimuli. In particular, I aim to develop innovative display and dimming technologies by fine-tuning the light emission and coloration of these photo-functional materials via electrochemical reactions—precisely manipulating electron exchange within the materials.
Recent Topics of Interest:
I am interested in fusing electrochemical optical behavior, such as the light emission and color change of individual nanoscale molecules, with other optical phenomena observed in larger-scale micrometer-sized mesoscopic structures. Additionally, I often reflect on how best to inspire young people to experience the beauty and excitement of luminescence that captivated me.
Motto in Research or in Life:
・Always stay positive and embrace optimism!
・I strive to cherish the excitement and joy that research brings.
・I aspire to foster mutual growth with my students and colleagues through constructive and inspiring competition.

Hobby / Holiday:
I engage in programming for my research or go outside with my camera to take pictures of birds and insects (thanks MICRO FOURTHIRDS for the compactness!). Taking pictures is enjoyable as it lets me appreciate the beauty of nature more clearly than seeing with my poor eyesight. Additionally, I have a keen interest in watching foreign dramas and shogi (Japanese chess) matches.
