Curriculum vitae (please see the followings)
I have strong interests in wildlife management for resolving human-wildlife conflicts under rapidly depopulating societies, typically observed in modern Japan. For this purpose, I have emphasized multidisciplinary approaches, including wildlife ecology, forest ecology, and human dimensions (e.g., rural planning, consensus building).
In addition, I have addressed basic and applied ecology to promote understanding the influence of human demographic changes and extreme climate events observed in modern societies on native ecosystem processes and functions, especially focusing on dynamic alternations of mammal assemblages.
