I previously worked in research support for various universities as a staff member of a private company. As a URA at Hokkaido University, I would like to continue learning and contribute to the university’s development by applying my experience in various ways.

My love for Hokkaido University

I always find myself buying food products labeled with phrases like “Collaboration with Hokkaido University” or “Developed by Hokkaido University.” My recent favorite is candies made with Gagome kelp produced using a special technique developed by Hokkaido University.
