He received Ph. D. from Tokyo Metropolitan University in 2010. The thesis was entitled "Heat Transfer Characteristics of a Gas-to-Gas Microchannel Heat Exchanger." He studied at Aichi Institute of Technology, where he received bachelor and master degree. His research interest includes high-performance compact heat transfer equipment and heat transfer enhancement techniques. His interest also involves multi-phase flow. He is currently working on investigations of boiling heat transfer for ocean thermal energy conversion.
