He obtained Bachelor Engineering, Master Engineering and Ph.D(Engineering) from the University of Tokyo in 1994,1996 and 1999, respectively. He joined Shibaura Institute of Technology since 2005.

Our research interests are on designing the next generation mobile network architecture and mobile computing systems. One of topics we are focusing on is realizing collaborative sensor networks by using user terminal participation, in which each user’s mobile terminal obtains live information from the real world by exploiting radio information or a variety of sensors equipped with them, and it uploads them to the server in the Internet to recognize the situation of the specific place. For example, we try to estimate crowd density at some place using users’ mobile phones, by that they obtain the signal strength and packet loss information of public WiFi access points there.

We also address mitigating congestion that frequently occurs in expressway through detecting congestion phenomena and sharing the congestion information by using vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication and each car adjusts the velocity to reduce the congestion. The last example is assisting disaster relief. We address a method to record evacuation route trajectory of each person in indoor environment without GPS when the Internet is not available after the disaster occurs, by utilizing smartphone sensors such as acceleration sensors, gyro or air pressure sensors.
