Hiroshi is a second year graduate student majoring in Information Science, where he is exploring information as a meme. His research interests include the Semantic Web and the Open Source Community, where information is sharing is the goal and the means to get work done.

I’d like to bridge the gap between the state-of-the-art Information Technology (IT) driven by the Open Source Community as practical and what I’ve learned at UAlbany as theoretical. Also, I appreciate CTG's recognization of the priority of policy and management when implementing and practicing IT solutions.

I was an R&D engineer for more than 5 years, working for a Japanese manufacturer of machine tools.

I’d like to engage in the Open Source Community and the Semantic Web in my future career.

CTG allows me to work independently even though I am a newbie in the project, giving me a positive and supportive work environment.
