Yoshiyuki Sankai, Professor, Ph.D. / Kenta Suzuki


Posted February 25, 2007:

RECOMMENDATION:
Ph.D. course student as a Researcher/Postdoctoral Researcher in Biomedical/Rehabilitation Engineering

Dear Professors/colleagues

I'm Prof. Sankai, University of Tsukuba, Japan.
One of my Ph.D. course students is now looking for a researcher position abroad for a few years in biomedical engineering or rehabilitation engineering. He is undoubtedly one of the most deserving students.

His name is Mr. Kenta Suzuki. He always exhibits superior ability in my research projects and successfully accomplishes any tasks or projects in cooperation with other team members. He is also a very energetic researcher with a high ambition to be active in international fields. So I would like to support him to become an excellent researcher with rich international careers by giving him the opportunity to work in a stimulating research environment abroad.

Would you please take him on your project for a few years and support him to improve his skills and senses of the research?
He can join your team as early as this year as a Ph.D. holder. If you are interested in him but not ready to offer him a normal-paid position now, I would be pleased to support by partially providing his salary.

The following is his self-recommendation. Please feel free to contact me for any further information about him.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Yoshiyuki Sankai, Professor, Ph.D.

*******************************
Self-Recommendation (K.Suzuki)
*******************************
My name is Kenta Suzuki. I am currently inquiring about opportunities for a researcher or a postdoctoral researcher position in biomedical engineering or rehabilitation engineering.

I am a Ph.D. candidate, 26 years old, with 5 years research experience in the Cybernics field at University of Tsukuba (Japan), and expected to receive my Ph.D. as early as this year, by March 2008 at the latest.

I am very interested in developing robots interacted with human and in exploring human body functions, such as muscles, nerve system and motions.
I have been intensively involved in Prof. Sankai's project team to develop "Robot Suit HAL". HAL is an exoskeletal type robot and has been originally developed to help elderly people or disabled people walk around with their own legs. Recently I proposed an algorithm to estimate human intentions related with walking to provide comfortable and safe physical support. This work has been highly praised by our subject patients as well as in academic societies I belong to. A copy of the research paper is available upon request.

Through the research experience and training with my supervisor, I have learned the system control theory, biomedical engineering, physiology, mechatronics and electronics, of course mathematics and physics.
I strongly believe that I have mastered a variety of engineering skills and senses, such as analog/digital circuit design, signal processing, computer programming, data analysis technology, CAD/CAE/CAM, MC (Machining Center) and NC (Numerical Control) machine operation and so on.
I believe that my education, engineering skills and interpersonal skills will be an asset to your team.

I enclose my resume for your consideration.
It would be great if I could speak to you directly.

Sincerely,
Kenta Suzuki
