Currently, I serve as a researcher at the Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media (YCAM), one of international hubs of new media art and technology. I received a Ph.D. in Engineering from Division of Diversity and Fractal Science, Graduate School of Science and Technology, Chiba University, Japan. As a Specially Appointed Researcher at Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka University from 2008 and as an Assistant Professor at Creative Design Studio on Technology, Osaka University from 2011, I have implemented an educational program on engineering design and appropriate technology and also have been engaged in research on resource circulation and sustainability. I joined the FabLab Network from 2010 and co-founded FabLab Kitakagaya (Osaka, Japan) as one of its bases in 2013. Currently, I am a Japanese instructor of "Fab Academy" which was initiated by Prof. Neil Gershenfeld, the Director of MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms, and "Bio Academy” which is directed by George Church, professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School. I became a collaborator of YCAM since 2014, and since 2016 I am mainly in charge of YCAM Bio Research as a researcher.
