Engineering for Living in Harmony with Nature

Hi! I’m an engineer in the landscape ecology domain using data science techniques to realize a society where the diverse values of nature are included in decision-making. I also aim to contribute to the achievement of local SDGs through the social implementation of my research. For each theme, networking among young scholars/practitioners in related areas, such as ecology, environmental systems, and environmental policy, is very important. I’m welcome for a new collaboration.
