ProfessorMy main research topic is “plant genetic resources,” including landraces and their wild relatives. I have conducted field surveys and characterization of the plant genetic resources for future conservation and utilization. For the field survey, various countries have been focused on, such as India, Nepal, and Malaysia.
In recent years, I have been working in the field of education and developing model lessons focusing on plant genetic resources with foreign collaborators. As the plant genetic resources, I am focusing on the crops which are familiar in Chiba and foreign countries.

Recent Topics of Interests:
To develop model lessons focusing on plant genetic resources, which are applicable not only to schools in Japan but also in foreign countries.
Motto in Research or in Life: With dreams, diligence, and modesty
Hobby / Holiday: To play Sumo wrestling (I was a member of the sumo club at university.)
