Research interests

My work involves designing human living environments grounded in ergology—the study of human biological characteristics—and ergonomics, with the aim of enhancing safety, comfort, and work efficiency. In particular, I focus on human-powered transportation, conducting a comprehensive range of activities from ethnographic fieldwork to the research and development of transport devices.
