I’m the newly JICA expert cum Lecturer of Master’s Program in Infrastructure Engineering (MIE) Vietnam Japan University. I’m honored to be working for such a International university.
I graduated from Department of Traffic Engineering Nihon University. The research theme of my master’s thesis was the relationship between zoning and Spatial interaction model output. My first activity in Asia was when I was in the master’s course in 1990. My Boss was dispatched to the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT, Bangkok) as a JICA expert. I visited AIT for research and to observe the dynamic transformation of Bangkok. And I felt the enthusiasm of Asian students’ research, also every night while enjoying dinner at cafeteria? in front of the main gate of AIT.
After completing the master’s course, I worked for a general construction company. I worked at a construction site to carry out a new attempt at Technology Development TAKENAKA. It was only two years, but it was a precious two years that created my “Field Power”. Next, I worked at the Department of Social Engineering at Tokyo Institute of Technology (TIT, Tokyo). The theme of our laboratory was unique, and we paid close attention to the analysis results and data quality. I have started research related to “International Development”. I was researched the verification of the horizontal specialization in Asian countries using the International Input-Output Table. It is also the relationship between macro data and its error. This is a very modest but important theme and continues to this day.
I have been working at the Faculty of International Studies at Takushoku University since 2000. In the summer of 2001, I returned to AIT as a visiting researcher.
I researched ASEAN – Japan Transportation Platform (AJTP; Database construction for Transportation) with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and ASEAN Secretariat. In the process, I visited Ha Noi for the first time in 2013 as a lecturer at the seminar. And since VJU started, I have visited here every year and gave lecture about “Quantitative & Qualitative Analysis” for MIE and MPP students.
My current research theme is “Resident participation type road repair technology using LBT (Labour Based Technology)”. Currently analyzing “Verification of the impact of design technology obtained by dispatching labor overseas to local private road repair technology in rural areas in northeastern Thailand”. I am also conducting comparative verification with Japanese rural areas.
