He completed his doctoral program at the United Graduate School of Agricultural Science, Ehime University (Doctor of Agriculture). He served as a postdoctoral fellow (PD) at the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, a teaching assistant at Hamamatsu University School of Medicine, an assistant professor at Yokohama City University School of Medicine, and a specially appointed assistant professor at Shinshu University School of Medicine. He joined the Japan Automobile Research Institute (JARI) in September 2012 and assumed his current position in April 2025. His current research focus is on atmospheric environmental epidemiology focusing on traffic-related air pollution. He began using jmp after joining JARI, so has been using it for about 10 years. Initially, he only used it for statistical analysis, but after learning various tips at events such as the Discovery Summit, JMP has now become an indispensable tool for data organization, plotting, and analysis, from start to finish.
