はじめに - Kanade Komaru

I was born in Oksaka and have been living in Gifu City since I entered this university.　It's been seven years since I started living in Gifu.

I am actually a Ph.D. student while working as a company employee. I usually work as a construction consultant.

I am in the Water Resource Environment Laboratory, and my speciality is the ecology of rice fields and ornithology , because I have loved wildlife since I was a child, especially birds.

At present, I am studying the relationship between the birds called "Grey-headed Lapwing" that live in rice paddies and agricultural activities, and considering ways to conserve the birds. I am also very interested in the relationship between the organisms that live in rice paddies and the agricultural activities that take place in them, and I am studying this.

I also like to travel and I recently went to Vietnam. The local food was so delicious that I was very impressed and I would like to introduce it in the future.
