Member Introduction

After practising sports physiotherapy as a physical therapist at an orthopaedic hospital, I completed a master’s degree at the University of South Australia and obtained a PhD in Sport Sciences from Waseda University. I then served as an Assistant Professor at Waseda University and Niigata University of Health and Welfare, and as a specialist at the Japan Sports Agency, before taking up my current position. Drawing on my experience in clinical practice, research, education, and public administration, I aim to help strengthen research capacity and advance the societal implementation of research.
