As a civil engineering employee of a local government, worked mainly in the fields of urban development, urban planning.
In April 2023, moved to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. In this position, based on knowledge of local government and urban planning, in charge of accelerating the implementation of AAM and drones in society.

Drones are expected to be implemented in many areas following the realization of Level 4 flight last December. The frontlines of their utilization and technological development will be explained. Also explain the government's efforts toward the flight of AAM at the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo and beyond.

After serving as Director of Dangerours Goods Tranport Office, Maritime Bureau, Director of Technology Development and Promotion Office, Technology Policy Division, Policy Bureau, assumed current position in April 2023.

SiC semiconductors have superior physical properties compared to Si semiconductors, and are expected to perform operations such as high-speed switching and low power consumption. They also works in high temperature above 200ºC where Si semiconductors are difficult to operate. By using high temperature operation, a size and a weight of a heat sink can be reduced.
In this presentation, I will introduce the SiC power module developed at AIST and its operation at 250ºC.

His specialty is semiconductor engineering. He has been involved in research and development of basic and applied technologies for semiconductor devices such as light emitting devices, solar cells, and power devices. He has long been engaged in the development of new material systems, especially oxide and chalcogenide compounds, and well versed.
