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.
