Education

In addition to regular university lectures, exercises, and research instruction, I have focused on interactive education to enhance students’ creativity and thinking skills.

I created the Kyoto University Design School with my colleagues in Informatics, Architecture, Mechanical Engineering, Management, and Psychology. The school became operational in April 2013.

After the retirement from Kyoto University, I moved to Waseda University in 2019. In Waseda, I worked on designing a required workshop series called Social and Human Innovation by Practical Science and Engineering (SHIP) for the newly-created international course.
