ProfessorI am conducting research on human perceptual-cognitive processes and the characteristics of KANSEI (aesthetics) using experimental psychological methods. In particular, I am investigating the characteristics of the time and space that humans can directly perceive and interact with. My research goal is to understand the mental aspect of time and space to the extent that I can manipulate them as I intended.
Recent Topics of Interests:
The psychological basis of slow motion experiences (tachypsychia phenomenon) that are perceived during accidents such as traffic accidents, collisions, and falls.
The perceived time during the “Zone” or “Flow” experience.
The development of communication methods and strategies for avoiding potential dangers using perceptual illusions and cognitive biases.
The potential of psychology in addressing the measurement problem in observation.
Motto in Research or in Life:
You must keep your mind straight and not become trapped by preconceived favorite notions about yourself (The Book of Five Rings).
Hobby / Holiday:
I love listening to live music performances, watching RAKUGO (traditional Japanese comedic storytelling), going to the theater, and visiting art galleries to appreciate paintings and media arts.

Associate ProfessorUtilizing large-scale supercomputer simulations, we conduct research on the formation and evolution of various astronomical objects, such as galaxies and large-scale structures of the universe, as well as the study of the dark matter structure within galaxies. We also develop our own high-performance parallel numerical codes and algorithms. Furthermore, we are actively involved in the public release of big data, including astronomical mock catalogs derived from simulations.
Recent Topics of Interest:
The formation of astronomical objects in the early universe and its impact on the subsequent evolution of the universe, as well as their relics in the present day

Associate ProfessorI specialize in the fundamentals and applications of Information and Communication Technology, with recent research focusing on designing protocols for wireless sensor networks, environmental sensing, and estimating mental states such as stress, concentration, relaxation, and fatigue. Additionally, my study includes research on indoor positioning utilizing sensors and radio signal strength. Through these endeavors, I aim to pioneer technologies that improve the quality of human life and contribute to mental well-being.
Recent Topics of Interest:
Creating sensor networks using optical wireless communication, including visible light and infrared.
Contributing to the resolution of societal issues through advancements in information and communication technology.
Expressing human responses through information and communication technology.
Motto in Research or in Life:
Failure teaches success.
Embrace trial and error.
Learn from the past to create the future.
Hobby / Holiday: Exploring historical and archaeological sites, visiting museums—particularly those focused on history, natural history, and natural science—taking leisurely strolls, enjoying alcoholic beverages, and indulging in reading, especially historical novels, and detective fiction

Associate ProfessorI have been consistently engaged in research in the field of image information processing. Recently, my focus has been on developing technology that visualizes objects and phenomena invisible to the human eye by measuring and analyzing the propagation of light hitting a subject. Furthermore, I conduct research activities spanning technology development to support animated video production, exploration of stage production, and investigation of texture reproduction using CG. My efforts encompass a wide range of fields aimed at advancing imaging technologies.
Recent Topics of Interest:
Imaging technology to enrich people's lives
Motto in Research or in Life:
Address a problem as simply as possible

ProfessorUnder the theme of' Powering the future information-communication society,' I am engaged in various research themes, including Power converters for communications, Wireless power transfer systems, Communication systems, and Brain-inspired computing. 'Optimization' serves as a common keyword across all these themes, guiding our research process from theory construction to experimental verifications.
Recent Topics of Interests:
I am developing research "tools" by ourselves. I am particularly interested in developing optimization software specifically for circuit design in power electronics.
Motto in Research or in Life:
Try out what catches my interest.
Hobby / Holiday:
My primary interest lies in research. I also enjoy activities like Japanese chess, Running marathons, Playing golf, and others.

Associate ProfessorI aim to achieve the measurement of peripheral circulation hemodynamics using a simple color camera. Peripheral circulation hemodynamics are significantly related to both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, which means that this measurement also contributes to evaluating the balance of the autonomic nervous system. By visualizing the results obtained with the developed camera and providing feedback to the subjects, I strive to implement this technology in healthcare settings.
Recent Topics of Interest:
Biometrics, Image engineering, Information engineering, Cognitive science, Evolutionary psychology
Motto in Research or in Life:
