Atsushi received his B.Sc. in 1997 from the Department of Geology, Shinshu University, Japan, and then the M.Sc. in 1999 and Ph.D. in 2003 from the Institute of Geology and Paleontology, Tohoku University, Japan. In the graduate courses, Atsushi started his research career with standard geochemical analyses of mid-Cretaceous marine sedimentary strata along land sections in Hokkaido (northern Japan) and at a coeval Pacific deep-sea section. To aid interpretation of the chemostratigraphic data obtained, Atsushi had gradually turned his attention to taxonomy and biostratigraphy of Cretaceous planktonic foraminifera, which continue to be centered in his main research interests up until today.
Upon completion of his Ph.D., Atsushi acquired several postdoctoral researcher positions at multiple nations, from Japan (Chiba University: 2003-2006; Research Institute for Humanity and Nature: 2006-2008) to South Korea (Pusan National University: 2008-2011) to the United States (Smithsonian Institution: 2011-2013). Through this series of experience, he developed or undertook a variety of projects of broad traditional and applied disciplines in micropaleontology and paleoenvironmental analyses, not limited to the Cretaceous Period. He sailed for a scientific cruise in 2009 (Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 324), serving as a shipboard micropaleontologist of foraminifera.
Atsushi joined BugWare in 2013 and has been regularly involved with many office-based and offshore wellsite projects since then. He had quickly become proficient in Gulf of Mexico foraminiferal biostratigraphy and has been in service for the Cretaceous, Paleogene and Neogene prospects. Meanwhile, Atsushi has been officially affiliated with the Smithsonian Institution as a Research Associate, and is actively making progress in his science whenever possible.
