My lifework is to design “life in the future” through research development in the core technology of ubiquitous computing. My research interests are in the areas of Computer Networks and Ubiquitous and Mobile Computing. I am currently interested in developing energetically autonomous information communication devices. In addition to academic research activities, I enjoy designing new business and its field trial while joining IT startup companies that are using technologies developed in our laboratory. I am a technical advisor of Elephantech Inc. (established in 2014) and SenSprout, Inc (established in 2015).

2000 Ph.D. The University of Tokyo
2005-2019 Associate Professor, VLSI Design and Education Center (VDEC), The University of Tokyo.
2013-2014 Visiting researcher in the University of California, Barkeley.
2019- Professor, VLSI Design and Education Center (VDEC), The University of Tokyo.

My current research theme includes the design of low-voltage power management circuits for energy harvesting and wireless energy feeding, ultra low-voltage logic circuits, and large-area and flexible electronics with organic transistors.

2010 Ph.D. The University of Tokyo (Interdisciplinary Information Studies)

2014- Senior Lecturer, Department of Mechano-Informatics at the University of Tokyo.

I am a researcher in robotics. I have tried to understand theory of supple movement and softness of creature, and creating engineering mechanisms out of those learning. I am trying to expand the function and possibility of robotics. I am working on developing ‘bio-inspired’ robotics that is using artificial muscle. Also working on technology to print robots inexpensively. Creating autonomous material inspired by soft robotis is also my topic. I am interested in the harmony between morphology and computation in animal behaviors. Moreover, I have been keeping up active interest in the connection between human and machines. The methodology is making robot and demonstration of performance of the robot.

I am a researcher in interactive media and also a designer. I develop interactive media, device and artwork that extend the human body, tools and communication by using desplay, camera, sensors and actuators. My work and research results have been exibited at ACM SIGGRAPH, Ars Electronica Festival, YCAM and ICC. I am working over the boundaries between engineering, art and design.
