- I majored in Economics, especially, Experimental Economics.
April 1994. I joined Bank of Japan.
September 1996. I started to follow the research trend of information security relevant to the financial sector at Institute for Monetary and Economic Studies (IMES) of Bank of Japan. My survey papers (mainly written in Japanese) are available at Paper List of CITECS (Center for Information TEChnology Studies).
March 2003. I graduated from Graduate School of Engineering, Yokohama National University. (Ph.D.)
