Research Outline

I am conducting research aimed at improving crop productivity and stabilizing crop quality in the field from the viewpoint of agricultural meteorology and information science. Specifically, I am studying (1) technology for estimating (modeling) crop growth using agricultural management, meteorological, and genetic data, and (2) the development of an automatic monitoring system of pest occurrence using ICT/IoT. In addition, I am modeling pest population dynamics and conducting a time-series analysis of future pest outbreaks based on historical occurrence records and environmental/meteorological data. My primary research goal is to transform farming operations, which often depend on farmers' experience or calendar-based practices, into data-driven management, contributing to environmentally sustainable agricultural production.

What is my goal as a transborder researcher?

困難な課題に直面した際、自分の専門分野や技術だけでは解決できないことも、異なる視点を持った専門分野や異業種の企業の力を融合させることで、思わぬ解決法が見つかることがあります。組織や専門分野のボーダーを超えて、国内や海外のラボ・企業等での共同研究や産学連携を通じて、自分自身の「思考の枠」を乗り越えて、新しい発想・技術を取り入れた研究開発をしたいと考えています。

When faced with a challenge, one may find an unexpected solution by integrating the strengths of various specialties, when one’s own specialty or a single technology cannot solve the problem. My goal as a transborder researcher is to overcome my own “frame of thinking” and incorporate innovative ideas and technologies into research through collaboration with various people and organizations, regardless of their field of expertise and nationality.
