Profile

Toshihiro Matsui received the MS degree in information engineering from the graduate school of Tokyo University in 1982. He received Ph. D. degree from the same graduate school in 1990. He joined the former Electrotechnical Laboratory (ETL) in 1982. He conducted research on intelligent robotics and object oriented programming system for 18 years at ETL. Meanwhile, he was accepted as a visiting scholar by Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Australian National University totally for 20 months. ETL and other research institutes under METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) consolidated into the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, AIST, in 2001. At AIST, as the Acting Director of Digital Human Research Center, he conducted research on “Distributed real-time computer system for humanoid robots” with the research grants of JST-CREST and NEDO. After working as the Deputy General Director of AIST for almost 5 years and as the Director, Research Institute for Secure Systems for two years, he moved to Technology Strategy Center, NEDO in late 2015 to direct national R&D investments in IT fields. He joined IISEC as a professor in 2016. He is entitled as Fellow, Robotics Society of Japan, and is qualified as Information Security Specialist.
