The lecturer has been providing career support specifically to PhDs and PhD candidates for over 15 years. He has launched and developed several job-hunting services specialized in PhDs.

He is also engaged in a project by universities as well as MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) on career advice including internship, job search and one-to-one career consulting for PhDs and PhD students.
