Short Biography
Dr. Toshiharu Mukai was born in Gumma, Japan in 1967. He received the
B.Eng., the M.Eng. and the Dr.Eng. degrees in mathematical engineering
and information physics
from the
University of Tokyo in 1990, 1992 and 1995, respectively. He was
in Ishikawa laboratory when he was in Doctoral
course. He was a research scientist
at the
Bio-Mimetic Control Research Center
under the Institute of
Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN), Japan, from April 1995 to
September 2000. From October 2000 to September 2001, he stayed
at
Laboratoire de Neurobiologie in Marseille, France, as a
postdoctoral fellow, receiving a scholarship from the French
government. He was the laboratory head of Biologically Integrative
Sensors Laboratory in the Bio-Mimetic Control Research Center under
RIKEN, from October 2001 to September 2008. From June 2007, he has
been the team leader of Robot Sensor Systems Research Team in
RIKEN-TRI Collaboration Center for Human-Interactive Robot Research
(RTC). Since 2005, he has been the vice-president of the Technical
Committee on Soft Material, SICE.
His current research interests include sensor fusion, active sensing,
shape recovery from an image sequence, and neural network.
He got 1999 Awards for Outstanding Paper from Society of Instrument
and Control Engineers, 2000 Award for Research Achievement from
the Virtual Reality Society of Japan, etc.
