Recently, I’ve been deeply involved in developing biosensors using our proprietary technology. Specifically, these sensors are designed to detect various diseases, primarily cancer, from bodily fluids in a simple and cost-effective manner. Furthermore, by measuring any types of bodily fluids with these sensors, we are also investigating unexplained phenomena related to the human body. Since this research is enable by our unique measurement technology, and often yields unexpected data, it one of the most exciting research themes.

I had many opportunities to be exposed to music as a child, so I still love music. My favorite genre is progressive rock. Recently, I’ve been cherishing the time I spend with my son, especially taking him to and from daycare, which has become a daily routine I enjoy. I feel his growth every day.

When I was a student, I worked on organic solar cells that mimic photosynthesis. The more I studied, the more I realized how incredible photosynthesis is, and by the time I completed my PhD degree, my research interests had expanded to include biological fields. Since my specialization was in materials science and not biology, I was unsure what kind of researcher I wanted to become at the time. However, I eventually decided to focus on interdisciplinary research, leveraging my wide range of interests. The research I am currently working on involves various elements such as condensed matter physics, optics, analytical chemistry, molecular biology, and AI. While it can be challenging, the interdisciplinary nature of the work leads to unique outcomes, and I find it very rewarding as a researcher.
