As a data scientist, I support clients' business transformations.
In our organization, data scientists, consultants, and data engineers form teams to support client transformations in various ways, from data-driven strategy formulation to new service planning using AI algorithms, data scientist training support, and AI organization structure support. AI algorithms include diverse technologies such as recommendation engines that suggest products and videos based on user preferences, facial recognition systems used for identity verification, and generative AI, which has seen remarkable technological innovation since the second half of 2022. All of these are based on mathematics. While studying in the mathematics department, I encountered statistics. I found it very interesting to analyze results through statistics based on mathematics, and I realized how mathematics is useful in society. Furthermore, I learned about the profession of data scientist and was attracted to the work of supporting solutions to business challenges without clear answers using statistics, which led me to my current job. University life awaits with encounters with academics, professors, new knowledge. Since it's a valuable opportunity to seriously engage with academic disciplines, please pursue a path that interests you.
Studying mathematics and statistics helps me understand the theoretical background of AI algorithms. It also helps me understand why AI algorithms work well and how to implement code.

Contributing to product performance improvement and efficiency through technology development.
I conduct research and development in collaboration with business divisions that develop products. The product I'm currently involved with is an inkjet printer, and I work on understanding physical phenomena related to printers and developing evaluation methods. These technologies are important for shortening development periods in product development and developing differentiation technologies. The reason I chose my current job is that I learned the interest of research and development in my laboratory. While enrolled, I encountered various challenges, and both thinking based on theory and verifying through experiments were difficult, but I enjoyed the process of understanding the unknown and approaching understanding. Therefore, I wanted to continue research and development even after entering society. At university, it's important to explore your interests and aptitudes and absorb new knowledge, but please also experience various things outside of academics. Since you have a lot of free time to use, actively try things that seem beneficial for your future as well as things that may not seem so at first glance. I will also continue research aiming to contribute to business expansion with the technologies I develop.
Through discussions with professors, seniors, and juniors, I learned to think logically and communicate clearly. I think this experience is very useful in working as a corporate researcher.

Developing and designing hydraulic excavators that operate around the world.
I develop and design hydraulic excavators that operate in diverse locations around the world, from major cities to mines at altitudes exceeding 5,000 meters and extremely cold regions below -40°C. Operating hydraulic excavators is complex and takes time to master. Particularly in job sites where excavators are tilted, labor shortages and worksite safety are serious issues, and there is demand for support functions and information visualization that allow inexperienced operators to easily perform at veteran operator levels. Against this background, I'm working with employees from various fields to develop functions that ensure safety while working efficiently. The reason I entered this field is my admiration for construction machinery that contributes to "manufacturing" such as construction and mining, and I was particularly attracted to hydraulic excavators that can be used for various purposes by changing attachments. I will continue to design better products that contribute to customer safety and efficient development.
The fundamental knowledge of science and engineering I gained during my studies is useful when advancing work such as examining component shapes and analyzing test results. Because it's fundamental knowledge, I think it has high versatility and can be applied in various situations.

Developing production technology and measurement technology for diverse products.
Our company manufactures various products, from infrastructure materials such as electric wires and optical fibers to automotive and electronic components. I'm responsible for developing production technology and measurement technology, which are essential for making products with stable high quality. Since completely different field knowledge is required for each product, it's a daily study, but learning new worlds is enjoyable, and the connections cultivated since my student days help me acquire a wide range of technologies, leading to my own growth and motivation improvement. The reason I chose manufacturing was that I strongly realized that creating various experimental equipment and programs with my own hands while conducting experiments in the laboratory was also "manufacturing." The moment my ideas actually took shape and moved as imagined was very enjoyable, and I wanted to continue even after becoming a working professional. Also, after becoming a working professional, when facing challenges, I realized that the challenging spirit and diverse knowledge and experience cultivated during my student days became the opportunity to overcome obstacles. I will continue to support cutting-edge manufacturing and support people's lives around the world.
Through team activities in the laboratory, I acquired the ability to communicate my ideas and thoughts well to others according to the situation. This continues to be the foundation of communication in my current work life.
