There are three key pillars to my research. The first is Numerical Analysis. I work on algorithms that solve massive systems of linear equations quickly, which is vital for predicting complex phenomena. The second is developing ICT tools for education to support remote learning. And the third is Web Application Development, such as tools for physical simulations. Through these three fields, I am deepening my expertise across a wide range of technologies in Information Science and Engineering.
Prof. MAEKAWA Yoko
| Fundamental English 1/ Fundamental English 2/ English for Computer Science |
|---|
I implement Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) with the goal of fostering students' inquiry and critical thinking skills, envisioning them using English in their specialized fields and future careers. My research investigates how this approach influences changes in students' attitudes toward English language learning. Furthermore, I am exploring instructional methodologies that enable STEM students to engage with English learning through a logical and structured approach.
Prof. NAKAGAWA Shigekazu
| Statistics/Applied Data Analysis |
|---|
Many classical statistical procedures rely on the assumption of normality. My research focuses on tests for normality, aiming to assess whether observed data are consistent with a normal distribution. In particular, I seek to integrate formal statistical tests with graphical diagnostics and to develop a systematic framework for visualizing distributional features such as skewness, kurtosis, and tail behavior.
Associate Prof. OKUMURA Hidenori
| Basic Data Analysis |
|---|
I develop and implement novel algorithms for regression analysis, with a specific focus on variable selection across parametric and nonparametric frameworks. My goal is to apply these techniques to causal inference to better understand the underlying mechanisms and interactions within complex systems.
Assistant Prof. ONISHI Sakuei
| Basic Programming/ Advanced Programming/ AI Programming1 / AI Programming2/ AI Algorithm/ Natural Language Processing |
|---|
I research AI-driven educational support, specifically through the analysis of classroom dialogue using Large Language Models (LLMs). My work focuses on automating feedback for teachers to improve lesson quality and reduce administrative burdens. Beyond the classroom, I aim to apply these dialogue analysis techniques to a wide range of fields involving human communication.
