Academic Qualifications

Ph.D. in Engineering, Chubu University (2021–2024). Prior to joining the National Museum of Ethnology as Assistant Professor (2026–present), worked as a Researcher at the Chubu Institute for Advanced Studies, Chubu University (2024–2026), and as a Researcher at the Center for Interdisciplinary Integrated Technology Field Monitoring, Vietnam National University (2017–2021).

Research Specialization

Geoinformatics, remote sensing, and satellite image analysis, with applications to environmental monitoring (land-cover mapping, flood and disaster assessment, atmospheric pollutant monitoring) and, more recently, to the development of geospatial AI approaches for linguistics research.

Research Keywords

GIS, Remote Sensing, Geospatial AI, Satellite Image Analysis, Land-cover Mapping, SDGs Monitoring, Linguistics

Current Research Topics

  • Research on unifying different linguistic modalities – spoken language, sign language, and script – within a single GIS platform
  • Research on sign detection for sign language
  • Research on an automated framework for identifying the optimal machine learning model for different geospatial tasks
