- Co-I of the orbiter camera of ISAS asteroid mission (HAYABUSA(MUSES-C)), Asteroid Multi-band Imaging CAmera(AMICA).
- Having performed laboratory impact experiments in order to study
velocity distribution of fragments from collisional disruption
and ejecta from particulate layer.
These experiments provide insights into collisional evolution of small
solar system bodies and regolith formation processes on their surface.
