He worked on interferometric straightness measurement and medical imaging at the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory (MEL), Japan. MEL was reorganized into AIST in 2001 where he worked on real-time holography and interferometry using liquid crystal spatial light modulators. He received a Ph. D degree from Shizuoka University in 2006. After that he made research works on diffractive optical elements made by electron-beam writing and interactive support system using head-mounted displays. He is now a coordinator between AIST and manufacturing industries.
