Engineering for Living in Harmony with Nature

Hi! I’m developing and applying data science technologies in landscape ecology arena, working towards a society where nature’s diverse values are integrated into decision-making processes. My research activities emphasize networking with early-career researchers and practitioners in ecology, environmental systems, and environmental policy, both locally and internationally. Through the social implementation of these research outcomes, I aim to contribute to achieving local SDGs. I’m always open to new collaborations!

景観生態学分野でのデータサイエンス技術の開発・応用を通じて、自然の多様な価値が意思決定プロセスに確実に組み込まれる社会の実現を目指しています。生態学、環境システム、環境政策分野における国内外の若手研究者・実務者とのネットワーキングを重視した研究活動を展開しています。これらの研究成果の社会実装を通じて、ローカルSDGsの達成に貢献することを目指しています。新しい協働の機会はいつでも歓迎です!
