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 an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, IEEE Communications Letters, IEEE Wireless Communications Letters and IEICE Transactions on Communications. 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:
- 5G and Beyond radio access design (Terahertz and mmWave networks, RIS networks, drone networks),
- Machine learning-based spectrum and energy resource allocation optimization,
- Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) communications (LPWAN, LoRa),
- Integrated terrestrial-satellite communication systems (LR-FHSS),
- Energy-efficiency of wireless communication systems.
