My SFC Journey
Faculty of Environment and Information Studies
From: Germany
Seminar (kenkyukai): Hideyuki Kawashima's Seminar
I can deeply explore my interests in Seminars to pursue my aspirations.
My Research
I joined both Prof. Kotosaka's and Prof. Kawashima's Seminars at SFC. Prof. Kotosaka's Seminar provided me with invaluable insights into business strategies, feedback from high-level executives, and a deeper understanding of how the business world operates. I am currently conducting research with Prof. Kawashima on cybersecurity-related program transformations, such as post-compile security enhancements, and obfuscation techniques for reversing these transformations. Recently, we wrote and submitted a paper to a symposium.
1st Year
I focused on entry-level and mandatory classes, along with some computer science courses. I joined Prof. Kotosaka's Seminar, where I learned about business strategies and gained insights into the operational aspects of the business world.
2nd Year
While continuing my studies in business and computer science, I joined Prof. Kawashima's Seminar (the Data Platform Laboratory) and conducted research on data structures and algorithms.
3rd Year
To better understand how businesses operate, I took multiple courses on policy management and learned about government bodies, policymaking processes, regulations, and strategies to navigate them effectively. I also enrolled in advanced computer science courses and continued working on my research.
4th Year
To focus on my research and path to publication, I am only taking computer science classes. Meanwhile, I started a cybersecurity company specializing in security consulting, IP protection, and client-side software security. Having been accepted into the master's program at SFC, I plan to continue my research in Prof. Kawashima's Seminar. I also intend to expand my company by leveraging the innovative technologies I have developed through my research.
