When he was in the third grade of elementary school, he decided to become an astronomer, but he changed his mind a bit and studied geophysics in graduate school. Starting with research on aurora and outer space, his interest has expanded from lightning discharges and planetary exploration to satellite usage, and now he devotes his time to measuring agricultural products.

Professor Takahashi's research is introduced in ``Interview ``Taking on solving global issues with microsatellites.''
