I am a sustainability expert and a specialist in urban environmental resource management and life cycle assessment; while I also have a keen interest in multi-disciplinary research, including interdisciplinary sustainability science research and how to achieve “win-win” solutions to today’s most complex environmental issues such as resource use and energy as well technology evaluation.

 

Prior to completing my Ph.D., I completed my master’s degree at the Graduate School of Environmental Sciences, University of Tsukuba, Japan. I also hold four additional educational certificates during my studies in Japan: Environmental Diplomatic Leader Educational Program (University of Tsukuba), Japan Global 30 Waste Management Expert Course (University of Tsukuba), International Collaborative Environmental Program (University of Tsukuba), and Graduate Program in Sustainability Science – Global Leadership Initiative (GPSS-GLI; The University of Tokyo).

My undergraduate background is in electronics and communications engineering. Since pursuing my undergraduate degree, my interest in continuing my studies in environmentally related research has only grown.
