About Me

I’m a 2nd-year PhD student primarily advised by Prof. Minoru Fujii, with previous guidance from Prof. Yasuaki Hijioka during my master’s degree, and continued collaboration with Prof. Kenichi Nakajima in both my master’s and current PhD research. All three professors supervise the Transition to a Cycle-Oriented Society Laboratory at The University of Tokyo (UTokyo), while also working at the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES), Japan, as their primary institution.

My research focuses on decarbonization and life cycle approaches, specifically in the assessment of energy and resource recovery from waste. This research is aimed at addressing the challenges faced by countries working to improve resource efficiency while simultaneously pursuing decarbonization goals. Using Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA), I analyze waste-to-energy systems, integrating environmental, economic, and social factors to offer actionable strategies for policy development. This work applies to countries worldwide grappling with resource and energy recovery, in alignment with decarbonization challenges and sustainability.
