As a Ph.D. student at the University of Tokyo, I studied radio astronomy for two years at the ALMA Project Office of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) and for three years at the Nobeyama Radio Observatory (NRO). I was awarded a Ph.D. in March 2010 and a postdoctoral fellowship at the NRO in 2010-2013. Following this, I worked at CEA/Saclay between May 2013 and March 2019 and worked at Kagoshima University between April 2019 and October 2019 as a postdoctoral fellow. I worked at NAOJ/ALMA as a Project Associate Professor. Then, I have been working at Kyushu Kyoritsu University as a Professor since April 2022.

My main research interest for my Ph. D. thesis is star formation, particularly that induced by external triggers or so-called triggered star formation. Triggered star formation is related to many aspects of star formation, such as cluster formation and massive star formation; thus, an observational study of triggered star formation is essential for a clearer comprehension of star formation. In addition, I was in the process of developing the observation method and data reduction technique crucially required for the intensive understanding of observational data and efficient, unbiased, and wide-field mapping observations. Since 2013, I have studied filament formation using the Herschel and complementary molecular-line data.
