About me

I am a Professor at the National Institute of Informatics (NII), at the University of Tokyo, Dept. of Computer Science, and at the Graduate Institute for Advanced Studies (Sokendai), in Tokyo, Japan (photo left corner: NII’s mascot).

I am a Senior Member of IEEE and serving as a Senior Editor of IEEE Communications Letters, and as Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications and IEEE Wireless Communications Letters. I received the IEEE Communications Letters Exemplary Editor distinction in December 2020. On September 1st 2020, I was nominated as a Member of the Advisory Board for Promoting Science and Technology Diplomacy, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan (MOFA).

Currently, my main research interests are:
