Kusumoto Noriaki is a Professor at Waseda University's School of Education within the Faculty of Education and Integrated Arts and Sciences. With a Doctor of Science degree from Waseda University, he maintains an active research profile with teaching responsibilities for 2025 including Seminar in Cultural Sciences, Introduction to Information Processing, Cultural Sciences: Maps, Information Society/Information Ethics, and Application of Information Technology and Career courses. His academic work bridges educational technology and biological sciences, reflecting a unique interdisciplinary approach. Professor Kusumoto's research interests focus on educational technology and science education, particularly e-learning and Web-Based Training (WBT) systems. His work demonstrates significant contributions to language learning technologies, including mobile learning applications for English vocabulary acquisition, learning history analysis for personalized instruction, and corpus development for language proficiency assessment. He has also maintained a parallel research line in photosynthetic reaction centers of green sulfur bacteria, with publications dating back to the 1990s that examine electron transfer mechanisms and ferredoxin interactions. His publication record shows a clear evolution from biological research toward educational technology applications, with recent work (2003-2008) predominantly focused on language learning systems, data infrastructure for educational research (VALIS project), and information ethics. The 15 most recent publications reveal a strong emphasis on practical applications of technology in language education, with particular attention to mobile learning, learning analytics, and networked systems for language data collection and analysis. His work consistently addresses the intersection of technology, pedagogy, and practical implementation challenges. Professor Kusumoto has been involved in numerous research projects funded by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, including 'Data Collection and Annotation of Relatively Spontaneous Utterances by Japanese Learners of English' (2009-2013) and 'English learning with handheld devices' (2007-2009). His professional memberships include the Biophysical Society of Japan, Japanese Society for Biology Education, Japan Society for Educational Technology, and Information Processing Society of Japan, reflecting his dual expertise in both biological sciences and educational technology. As a concurrent researcher at the Waseda Research Institute for Science and Engineering and affiliated with the Global Education Center (2024-2026), Professor Kusumoto maintains an active research presence. His work on information ethics, particularly in educational contexts, demonstrates his commitment to addressing the social and ethical dimensions of technology in learning environments. His early research on photosynthetic reaction centers continues to inform his approach to science education methodology and biological curriculum development.
