Profile Nobuhiko Mukai is a professor of Graduate School of Integrative Science and Engineering, Tokyo City University. He received his B.E., M.E., and Ph.D. degrees from Osaka University in 1983, 1985, and 2001, respectively, and also received his M.E. from Cornell University in the USA in 1997. He started to work at Mitsubishi Electric Corporation and changed to work as an associate professor at Musashi Institute of Technology in 2002. He is currently a professor at Tokyo City University since 2007, and a visiting professor of the Institute of Industrial Science at the University of Tokyo since 2020. His research interests are mainly computer graphics, image processing, and medical applications. The research area in the computer graphics field are simulation and visualization, including virtual reality and augmented reality, which combines real images and virtual objects created by computer graphics. On the other hand, the research area in the image processing are image creation and image recognition, which includes pattern recognition and deep learning. In addition, he is engaged in the medical applications using computer graphics and image processing, which performs the simulations using in vivo models generated from medical images obtained by CT (Computer Tomography), MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), or US (Ultrasound).
