  • Undergraduate Students: You can participate in our laboratory seminar.
  • Graduation Research: We accept two students from the Information Engineering Course, Faculty of Engineering, Chiba University.
  • Master's/Doctoral Research: You must belong to the Environmental Remote Sensing Research Center (CEReS) of Chiba University. You are required to pass the entrance examination of CEReS in August.
    • Existing students of Chiba University: You can take the exam from any faculty (e.g. the Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Science).
    • Master's/Doctoral students from other universities: We of course welcome you; please contact us asap. We will ask about your: (1) career plan, (2) general knowledge, (3) programming skills, and (4) your proposal for master-course research.

  • Earth Science: weather forecast, meteorology, hydrology, water resources, satellites data analysis, climate change/global warming, disaster prevention, and radioactive dynamics.
  • Mathematical Science: data assimilation, mathematical models (city formation, infectious diseases), and dynamical modeling (weather, hydrology, etc.).
  • Data Science: machine learning, deep learning, reinforced learning, and artificial intelligence (AI).
  • Humanities: archeology, history, philosophy, philosophy of science, and well-being.

(6) Strengths of our laboratory, and requirements

  • The professor is young, energetic, and positive (self-rated).
