Born in Kochi, Dr. Shimasaki attended Hiroshima University, and after graduating from the School of Engineering, he went on to study system cybernetics at the Graduate School of Engineering at the same university. In February 2019, whilst studying at the aforementioned graduate school, he took on the position of Specially Appointed Assistant Professor at the Hiroshima University Digital Monozukuri (Manufacturing) Education and Research Center. In December 2022, he moved to his current post of Assistant Professor at Hiroshima University’s Graduate School of Advanced Science and Engineering. Although he is based at a university, he is also widely engaged in collaborative research with private sector entities.
While IoT is rapidly accelerating, the need for sensing technology using sensors which measure and analyze information, including images, temperatures, vibrations, and sounds, is increasing more than ever. Within this need, Dr. Shimasaki is currently working on sensing technology that focuses on vibration. This technology has been achieving results in studies conducted in collaboration with the private sector, with one unique example being its application to honeybees, where the vibrations that honeybees make when freely flying across a large area are captured and a real-time image analysis is conducted. All in all, Dr. Shimasaki aims to apply and popularize this technology while taking overseas expansion into consideration.
