Akira Yoshioka

  • Next-generation big-data analysis platforms

I believe that the most valuable skill of a researcher lies in making the most of fortunate coincidences, and I usually take on whatever themes come my way (if there are too many, I take on the newest). As a result, I have been engaged in a wide variety of research, and I am glad to have done so, because research and development on next-generation big-data analysis platforms has connections to many areas from my past experience.
Recently, I am mostly serving management duties, but in order to keep my memory strong on how I felt during my time as a researcher, and with dreams of returning to the field as a researcher again, I make an effort to take part in on-premise meetings as much as I can, in order to keep my skills up to par (at least, I hope so).
