Overview

Exactly ten years ago, the Great East Japan Earthquake became an unforgettable memory for all of us.
As a specialist in personal identification using biometric data, I personally assisted in the identification of the deceased at the scene of the disaster.
I would like to talk about what I learned as I became acutely aware of the gap between academia's research and real-life problem-solving. Since the great earthquake, I have been in touch with the management of universities, and I continue to search for a way for universities to boost reconstruction and become an engine for urban development.
