Brief Personal Record

After completing graduate studies at Waseda University, I joined the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO). Subsequently, I became interested in biomass energy as a form of renewable energy, and obtained a doctoral degree in engineering at the University of Tokyo; my dissertation was titled “Life Cycle Analysis of Biomass Energy System by Gasification Process”. Thereafter, I worked as an assistant at the Department of Industrial Administration, Faculty of Science and Technology, Tokyo University of Science, and as a visiting researcher at the University of Hawaii.

Message to Applicants

Imagine what your future life will be. What kind of a world will you inhabit? What is necessary in a world for us to to live happily? It is likely that there is no single standard. There are bound to be differing opinions. However, the world is recognizing various problems caused by global warming, as well as issues caused by economic activities that have been carried out so far. In addition, population decline is becoming increasingly serious, especially in developed countries, and the mountain of problems is becoming impossible to ignore. We are required not only to overcome current challenges but also to have the ability to respond, anticipate, and address a variety of future challenges, if our goal is to improve the satisfaction of people in the future. In light of this situation, our laboratory aims to improve the state of affairs from a global and diverse perspective to design an ideal system based on acquired knowledge and trends in the world and to come up with concrete implementations leading to the actual realization of these ideas. Our philosophy is to nurture human resources with challenging ideas and the willingness to act. Let us grow together with our colleagues to become agents taking an active role in society.
