About the lecturer
With the motto "Single Sky," I engage in research on air transport and air traffic management while traversing the skies around the world. I completed my doctoral studies in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the University of Tokyo Graduate School. After gaining research experiences at international institutions such as the Eurocontrol, the Netherlands Aerospace Centre, NASA Ames Research Center, Nanyang Technological University, I’m currently holding a position of a professor at the University of Tokyo in 2022. In addition to my academic work, I have delivered talks at TEDxKyoto in 2012 and TEDxWasedaU in 2021, and I am actively involved in outreach activities through media, books, and lectures at companies and educational institutions. |
