Later today, I’ll be speaking at “Greater Todai Juku.” The overarching theme is “What Does Digital Technology Bring to Society?”

The other speakers are Professor Akihiro Nakao, Professor Hiroshi Esaki, Professor Yutaka Matsuo, Professor Hiroyuki Morikawa, Professor Soichiro Takagi, Professor Tsunehisa Shishido, and Professor Toshiya Watanabe—it’s practically an all-star lineup, isn’t it?

With such an impressive lineup of speakers gathered here, I hope you’ll think of my session as just a coffee break—but since it’s a request from Principal Koshizuka, who’s always been so kind to me, I’ll do my best (*^^*)
