I am in charge of industry-academia collaboration and intellectual property utilization in the fields of machinery, control, construction, and civil engineering. After completing my doctorate at our university, I worked at a major electronics manufacturer for 19 years and was responsible for many employee inventions. After that, I worked as a patent attorney at a patent office for four years, where I experienced a variety of practical matters, such as representing clients in patent court. By intently handling each and every research result entrusted to me, I will do my best to contribute to the co-creation of new businesses.
