Research Themes

The development of biosensing technologies and research related to signal processing

I mainly develop magnetocardiography systems that detect and record the magnetic field generated by the heart with an ultrasensitive magnetic sensor (SQUID flux meter). Specifically, I design and create electronic circuits and biosensors for SQUID flux meter control, and create biosignal measurement and analysis programs. I also strive to develop non-destructive testing equipment that examines the salt damage of steel-reinforced concrete structures.

Teaching Philosophy

I educate students to be able to think. In my lectures, I discuss practical examples as much as possible and engage in dialogs. I think it is important to spend a lot of time face-to-face with students.
