Introduction

For more than a decade, I have been working on a variety of real-world business problems using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technologies while publishing research papers in premier academic conferences.

My primary research interest is in modeling complex real-world industrial problems with machine learning algorithms. Major research topics include:

anomaly and change detection
questionnaire analysis
trajectory mining, and
service science.

My work in anomaly detection can be thought of as one of the pioneering efforts in sensor data analytics, which is the key enabler of IoT (Internet-of-Things) business. My publications cover the fields of machine learning, material science, applied optics, service computing, and project management. Their breadth and depth make me special as a business consultant as well.

In addition to research work, I have served as a people and project manager for years both in Japan and the United States.

Education

Ph.D. in Physics, The University of Tokyo, Japan, 2000.
- Thesis: “Theoretical Study on Nonlocal Effects in Resonant X-Ray Emission Spectra of Strongly-Correlated Systems”
- Supervisor: Prof. Kotani Akio
M.Sc. in Physics, University of Tokyo, Japan, 1997.
B.Eng. in Mechanical Engineering, Tohoku University, Japan, 1993.
