Cluster 2 (Information Engineering)

I am engaged in a job to contribute to a more convenient and comfortable society by data processing and analysis technologies.

Data processing and analysis technologies have become commonplace in our daily lives. See, when you are looking at an e-shopping site, a "recommended product" appears. Your computer estimates products which you may be interested in, based on browsing history data of many people. This browsing history data is generated at the very moment you click on the website, automatically making up a huge data cluster (i.e. big data). Analyzing such a huge amount of data by human is very difficult; however, engineers like us are contributing to more convenient and comfortable society through computer-based data processing and analysis.

Learning and experience gained at Hiroshima University helped me to have a broader future vision.

My research subject at the University relates to high-speed processing of data such as images. I did some presentations at the academic society where I began to be rewarded for my contribution to the society. This experience led me to want to work at this sector to create useful things that can help many people, leveraging my information processing expertise developed at the University. I am currently involved in the development of a high-speed, high-quality printer for industrial use. The wide range of specialized knowledge I learned at Hiroshima University is helping me to do the work at the R&D site which requires a variety of technologies including image processing, mechanical control and communication control. Hiroshima University gave me inspiring learning opportunities and experience which helped me to find and achieve a future vision.
