Since 2002, I have been leading Mobile Computing Laboratory, Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, Osaka University, Japan. In our laboratory, we are studying about algorithms, software and design methodologies concerning with mobile/ubiquitous computing systems such as localization/behavior estimation of smartphones/mobile devices, design and development of context aware services, ITS (inter-vehicle communication), advanced sensing systems, IT technology for disaster mitigation and green innovation, and so on. We aim at developing new technologies for constructing affluent and high-reliable ubiquitous society.

- Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANET)
- Advanced Sensing Systems (CREST Project)
Our project "Designing Advanced Electronic Triage System for Efficient Rescue Operations" was introduced in the morning news of NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) on Sept. 9, 2009. NHK is Japan's national public broadcasting organization. The project was also introduced on several newspapers in Japan. For details, see http://www.etriage.jp/
