I conduct research on information system platforms, focusing on their architecture and enabling technologies. My work primarily revolves around the following three interconnected topics:

  • Networking: I am interested in technologies that realize network programmability, such as P4, and techniques that balance high-speed networking with robust security by leveraging these technologies.

  • Cybersecurity: I focus on maintaining and verifying the secure state of systems. My main research areas include access control and its underlying Identity technologies, as well as the integration of practical security evaluations with information system operations.

  • Cloud Infrastructure: I am interested in the orchestration technologies for ultra-large-scale computer clusters. Currently, my work mainly focuses on the area surrounding Kubernetes.

I am also involved in the design and operation of the edge computing infrastructure at the Academic Center for Computing and Media Studies (ACCMS), working on platforms for academic research　that support data-driven research and AI.

I believe in building better platforms by learning from real-world operations and combining those insights with research and development findings, so I am actively open to collaborative research and academic consulting. I am also always looking for motivated students. Graduate students are admitted through Course of Social Informatics, Department of Informatics, Graduate School of Informatics. Additionally, part-time technical student assistant positions may be available for those outside the course who are interested in our research. Please feel free to contact me.

  • (2026/01/14) A co-authored paper with Yuki Yamada (M2 student) and Hidehito Gomi and Kota Tsubouchi (LY Corporation), titled “Indoor Space Authentication by ISS-based Keypoint Extraction from 3D Point Clouds,” has been accepted for the IEEE PerCom 2026 Work-in-Progress Session. This paper explores the use of 3D point cloud data, scanned by LiDAR on devices like smartphones, for authentication purposes.

  • (2025/12/17) A co-authord paper with Hiroya Onoe (graduated at March 2025), titled “Tiaccoon: Unified Access Control with Multiple Transports in Container Networks,” has been presented at ACM/IFIP Middleware 2025. This paper proposes a framework that achieves both network access control and the dynamic selection and use of various transports (RDMA, TCP/IP, UNIX Domain Socket) in container networks.

  • (2025/12/15) I contributed an article to the Kyoto University IIMC Info! Blog regarding Services Supporting Data-driven Research Provided by ACCMS.

  • (2025/12/03) I gave an talk titled “A Container Platform for Supporting Data Driven Research” at the AXIES 2025 Annual Conference. I introduced the architecture of the edge computing infrastructure in ACCMS and the container platform services we plan to offer using this system.
