Ikuto Hosokawa

Ikuto Hosokawa has a diverse work experience spanning over several years in various companies. Beginning in 1996, they worked as an Engineer at FUJITSU LIMITED, focusing on the physical implementation methodology of System on Chip (SoC) and developing implementation flows for automated placing and routing EDA tools. Ikuto also implemented and made tape-out physical layouts of real chip products for a video camera and an ARM9 CPU core macro.

In 2006, Hosokawa joined Fujitsu Laboratories LTD. as a Researcher, where they analyzed and predicted the performance of interconnect networks for a supercomputer system using an in-house network simulator. Ikuto also researched the implementation methodology for interconnect controller chips for supercomputers.

From 2007 to 2014, Hosokawa returned to FUJITSU LIMITED as an Engineer, focusing on virtual machine software development and EDA tools methodology. During this time, they developed simulators and virtual environments for newly added instructions in a new CPU under development. Ikuto also researched and implemented implementation flows for microprocessor chips using EDA tools and solved incompatibilities between ISV and in-house tools.

In 2014, Hosokawa joined Sprout Inc. as an Engineer, where they focused on R&D for the cybersecurity field. Ikuto designed the security core architecture, developed USB devices with fingerprint authentication and cryptographic operations, and debugged devices with engineers from a partner company in Taiwan.

Starting in 2016, Hosokawa worked at SEAOS Inc. as a Senior Research Engineer, specializing in R&D of IoT and Robotics for the logistics field. Ikuto managed HR tasks such as defining job descriptions and assessing R&D members. Additionally, they prototyped and developed a Volume Measurement System using point cloud from 3D LiDAR and depth-camera.

Most recently, Hosokawa joined TIER IV in 2019 as a Software Engineer.

Ikuto Hosokawa's education history begins in 1990 when they enrolled at The University of Electro-Communications. Ikuto pursued a Bachelor's degree in Electronic Engineering with a focus on Semiconductor Photonics, which they completed in 1994. During this time, they also obtained a certification as a "修士" (master's degree) in "電子工学" (electronic engineering).

After completing their undergraduate studies, Ikuto continued their education at The University of Electro-Communications. Ikuto pursued a Master's degree in Electronic Engineering with a specialization in Semiconductor Photonics, which they obtained in 1996. Additionally, they obtained a certification as a "修士" (master's degree) in "電子工学" (electronic engineering).

Outside of their formal education, Ikuto also holds a Driver's License (Japan), which was issued by the Public Safety Commission of Kanagawa Prefectural Government. The specific month and year of obtaining this certification are not provided in the information.
