Ph.D. (Fisheries Sciences)研究内容
北海道内で発生する漂着鯨類の調査を行い、そこから得られる情報や標本をもとに研究を進めています。特に、小型ハクジラ類が用いるエコーロケーション音の発生のしくみについて関心を持っています。漂着鯨類をきっかけとした教育・普及活動や、その取り組みの過程に関する研究にも、今後力を入れていきたいと考えています。
研究の魅力
生き物は言葉を話しませんが、その体は私たちに多くのことを語りかけてくれます。生き物の体が教えてくれる貴重な情報を無駄にせず、人類の財産として社会に伝えていけるかどうかは、標本と向き合う私たち一人ひとりに委ねられています。そこに強い責任と使命感、そしてこの分野の魅力を感じています。

Research Contents
I conduct research on stranded cetaceans in Hokkaido, using information and specimens obtained from these events. I am particularly interested in the mechanisms underlying the production of echolocation sounds in small odontocetes. I also plan to further develop educational and outreach activities based on stranded cetaceans, as well as research on the processes involved in these initiatives.
Attractive Factors of My Research
Living organisms do not speak, but their bodies speak to us in many ways. Whether the valuable information conveyed by their bodies can be preserved, fully utilized, and passed on to future generations as a shared heritage of humanity depends on each of us who engage with specimens. In this responsibility, I find a strong sense of mission and the profound appeal of this field.
