Professor / Director To address environmental issues and maintain the growth of an advanced civilized society, the advancement of sophisticated organic chemistry, focused on "manufacturing," is indispensable.
I am actively developing novel and efficient methods for constructing organic molecules to innovate valuable compounds such as medicines.
In addition, I am conducting research harnessing the unique properties of iodine sourced from Chiba Prefecture.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Creating molecules that were once beyond our reach
Realizing science that utilizes the properties of elements like iodine
Motto in Research or in Life:
Do what you must, not just what you can.
Hobby / Holiday
In search of nice hot springs and some good drinks, I drive my car for a trip.
Graduate School of Science, Chiba University
Associate ProfessorI am actively conducting research on elementary particles, employing neutrinos at the highest energies attainable by humankind. My primary goal is to investigate potential undiscovered physics interactions between quarks and leptons. Specifically, I focus on the tau neutrino, the least understood among the three neutrinos, as it may serve as a key to unveiling previously unknown aspects of physics. For this, I am recognized as a world expert in the detection techniques for tau neutrinos.
Recent Topics of Interests:
I am interested in the existence of three generations of elementary particles—quarks and leptons—and the connection between their essential nature and the structure of the universe.
Motto in Research or in Life:
Bringing out a plot that no one has ever seen before.
Conducting research within my distinct realm of expertise.
Hobby / Holiday:

ProfessorMy primarily area of focus is coding theory, which is known as the theory of error correction. As humans, we are skilled at estimating and restoring original information, even in the presence of mishearing or misspelling―essentially, error correction. My research involves mathematically describing the conditions under which error correction is possible and developing algorithms to correct errors.
Recent Topics of Interest:
I am interested in situations where information is shortened due to errors, with missing elements, yet I strive to restore the original data. This challenge has been a global problem tackled since the 1960s. Furthermore, I am developing methods to rectify missing information in scenarios involving planar arrangements, such as array-type designed codes, as well as in the context of future technologies like quantum computing and quantum communication.
Motto in Research or in Life:
I skip what I don't like and avoid putting in any extra effort.
Quibbles and poultices stick anywhere.
Hobby / Holiday:
I watch movies or TV dramas almost every day. I prefer to watch movies in a theater, especially those that leave a strong impact on my mind. As for TV dramas, I like suspense or horror from Nordic, Korean, or American productions. Alternatively, I play and sing songs I loved during my student days on the ukulele.
Graduate School of Science, Chiba University
Associate ProfessorI explore the diverse structures of algebraic linear differential equations through geometric, algebraic, and combinatorial lenses, employing representation theory methods.
While traditionally rooted in differential and integral calculus, I elucidate the unique characteristics of each equation by creating ‘figures’ and ‘diagrams.’ These figures offer insights into the multifaceted nature of differential equations.
Recent Topics of Interests:
My interest lies in the deformation theory for singularities of differential equations, exploring the correlation between the geometric structure of their moduli spaces and their representation theoretic interpretation.
Motto in Research or in Life:
Appreciating the support I receive from every aspect of my life: my family, friends, classmates, seniors, juniors, teachers, students, and colleagues.
Hobby / Holiday:
Always thinking about tasty foods
Graduate School of Science, Chiba University
Associate ProfessorI am studying partial differential equations that illustrate aggregation processes in biological systems. The main equation of my research is the Keller-Segel system, which describes the aggregation mechanism of cellular slime molds. These molds have both unicellular and multicellular life stages. Specifically, when food becomes scarce, these cells release chemical substances and move toward higher chemical concentrations through chemotaxis, forming multicellular groups. I focus on the mathematical analysis of the conditions under which these aggregates form.
Recent Topics of Interests:
I am currently interested in the fundamental analysis of partial differential equations that describe how cancer cells invade normal cells.
Motto in Research or in Life:
If you don't understand something, start by thinking it through on your own. If you still don't get it, ask openly and honestly.

ProfessorEven within an adult individual, proteins undergo a continuous cycle of synthesis and degradation, maintaining a clean internal environment through constant metabolism.
However, the accumulation of misfolded proteins leads to aging and neurological diseases.
My goal is to elucidate how the cleaning system removes waste proteins and keeps the internal environment clean.
Recent Topics of Interests: Quality control and degradation mechanisms of extracellular misfolded proteins
Motto in Research or in Life: Think first about what to consider
