Assistant ProfessorMy research centers on creating solar radiation estimation algorithms that utilize neural networks based on radiative transfer calculations. In 2007, I initiated semi-real-time solar radiation analysis using Himawari data, leading to the development of AMATERASS. I am deeply engaged in exploring aerosol–cloud–radiation climate feedbacks.
Following the Great East Japan Earthquake, I began providing technical support for renewable energy projects, particularly in solar power generation and solar heat utilization, by applying solar radiation estimation algorithms. Currently, my research is dedicated to developing new learning algorithms for satellite analysis.
