As the Head of SPACE WALKER Inc., I lead pioneering R&D collaboration projects with esteemed organizations such as JAXA, DLR, and Fraunhofer IPT. In my role, I lead the structural team responsible for designing and developing key components like the fuselage, wings, tanks, and their systems. My work involves integrating advanced materials and processing technologies for space applications while ensuring seamless coordination with suppliers and partners to meet engineering requirements and project schedules.

I hold a PhD in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering from The University of Tokyo, with significant contributions to the research on conductive FRP composite applications. My expertise spans the mechanics of materials and advanced mechanical testing, and I am passionate about advancing collaborative research initiatives to push the boundaries of space technology.
