Keiichi Muramatsu is Associate Professor (tenure-track since 2025) at Waseda University’s Global Education Center, Japan. Holding a Doctor of Human Sciences from Waseda, he has successively served as Assistant Professor at Saitama University and as part-time Lecturer at Bunkyo University. He is an active member of the Japan Society of Kansei Engineering, the Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence and the Color Society of Japan. Education: Doctoral Program, Human Sciences, Waseda University (2009-2014) Master’s Program, Human Sciences, Waseda University (2007-2009) Bachelor, Department of Human Informatics and Cognitive Sciences, Waseda University (2003-2007) Research interests: Muramatsu integrates Kansei informatics and soft computing to quantify human emotional and aesthetic responses. His work spans colour-emotion modelling for lighting and butterfly aesthetics, bio-signal driven emotion recognition using chaotic fingertip plethysmography, and gait classification via deep learning for personalised rehabilitation and stumble prevention. He also develops ontological frameworks to share emotional knowledge across educational and product-service system design domains. Publication trends: Across 62 Scopus papers (h-index 7), Muramatsu’s recent outputs demonstrate a convergence of affective engineering and AI: convolutional networks visualise gait features for training feedback, neural predictors estimate learner states in intelligent tutoring systems, and psychophysiological models link colour, fragrance and 3-D sound to emotional dimensions. Studies consistently combine subjective evaluations with objective indices such as fNIRS, skin conductance and chaotic exponents. Grants & industry links: He has led JSPS KAKENHI grants and internal Waseda special research projects, collaborated with Toyota on driver affective scales, and contributed to exoskeleton development with Saitama medical device firms. His work on LED automotive lighting and mobility-scooter stress evaluation reflects ongoing industry knowledge transfer. Advising & labs: While specific student names are not disclosed, Muramatsu supervises graduate research on gait-assistive devices, emotion recognition wearables, and ITS architectures within the Global Education Center’s interdisciplinary environment.

His academic leadership extends to roles as Director of Research for the School of Historical Studies and Head of Archaeology at Newcastle. Haynes' research spans three key areas: cult practice in the Roman world, frontier communities along imperial boundaries, and material culture studies. His methodological approach integrates advanced survey techniques, geophysical analysis, innovative excavation methods, and digital imaging technologies. Geographically, his work extends across the Roman Empire with significant projects in Italy (particularly Rome), Britain (focusing on Hadrian's Wall), Romania, and recently Pakistan with Gandharan art studies. His current research is dominated by the ERC Advanced Grant-funded 'Rome Transformed' project, which examines the physical reshaping of Rome's eastern Caelian from the 1st to 8th centuries CE. This work combines traditional archaeology with cutting-edge digital humanities approaches, including 3D visualizations that the project terms 'provocations' to stimulate scholarly debate. His fieldwork also includes the Birdoswald Excavation Project on Hadrian's Wall (co-directed with Tony Wilmott) and the 'De-fragmenting Gandhara' initiative.
