Message

With flexibility and a Global Perspective

My main area of expertise is information technology related to database/data warehousing. A long time ago, I participated in a national project on the organization of academic information and was in charge of the storage and management of astronomical data. I was a part of an international network in data center system design. I also conducted pioneering research in library information systems.

Database technology is becoming more and more sophisticated with the development of web technology, and has become a core technology of information technology.I think the requirements for future engineers are "flexibility" and "global perspective". It is necessary to respond flexibly to rapid changes in technology and industrial structure. Furthermore, technology is not confined to only one country or region, but is closely intertwined with language and culture, causing a complex globalization phenomenon. It is essential for future engineers to have a global perspective and a code of conduct. This can be done at The Kyoto College of Graduate Studies for Informatics.
