  • When you want travelling, but could not.

    A selection of short documentary movie and editorials I've been made while travelling :

    Longest long house in malaysia! , said. uma belor

    Kayan language speaking people dwell in this beautiful long stretched house. Uma Belun(Belor) Leodian, Sungai Asap, Sarawak, Malaysia length = 625m (claimed 1km) This is a one of the resettlement of bakun hydraulic power project in 1990's. In Sungai Asap village, there are 15 long houses includes this one, and all are built by government. Lands for fields also provided, but people claimed that it is not enough for their next generations. This video is to introduce their environment and atmosphere there. It takes 2hours car ride from bintulu. Also operates some home-stay which is very nice. If you are interested in their culture and modern history, society, definitely you should try. I had 3night and 4 days there.

    This house has a chief of Mr. Benjamin Angki, a beloved old man known as a powerful local leader.


    This long house operating home stay program. House master is very famous retired business man and his family has supported local catholic activity.

     

    You can visit and stay for days. one of my best recommendation for first timer. Children safety and no communicable disease record.

  • What I Do

    Enthusiastic engineer working on how to manage zoonotic infectious disease such as knowlesi malaria using drone, IoT, manipulation, sensor technology.

    • Multidisciplinary approaches to strengthen vector borne disease transmission study
      Vector borne disease study has been suffered due to insufficient researchers working on vectors, and is becoming incompatible with emerging infectious diseases. By introducing various new technology such as 3D printing, IoT, micro-climatorogical survey, I have been active on optimising field monitoring of mosquito activity and calling attention of researchers to join to this field of research from related fields of study.
       
    • Updating and sharing drone technology for field sciences

      By develop, maintenance, utilize survey technologies applicable with drone, I have been active to introduce new types of observing and sampling ecological data which has been innaccessible to the field sciences, then expand the region of non-human-centric knowledge and findings. I have been co-organizing research group on this topic which has more than 1000 membership.

       

    • 蚊媒介性感染症トランスミッション研究への多分野融合型アプローチ
      蚊が媒介する感染症は、蚊の行動研究に携わる研究者が世代交代により世界的に不足し、新規性のある感染環をフィールド調査で追えないレベルまで研究体制が弱体化してきている。これにより、薬剤耐性蚊の登場に対してデータ不足から対策が難しくなってきている。ここに３Dプリンタ、IoT、微気象連続観測などの多様な新技術を採用し、蚊のフィールドモニタリングを最適化し、またこれら技術に関連する別分野からの多様な研究者の参入を呼びかける多元的・協同的な研究方策を志向している。
       
    • ドローンのフィールドサイエンス活用
      ドローンがもたらす身体拡張技術を開発・整備・活用し、フィールドサイエンスに従来アクセス不可能であった生態学的データをもたらし、脱・人間中心的知見のさらなる拡充をはかる。同一テーマにおいて、会員規模1500人超の研究会を主催している。
