CEO Yuya Shinkawa Obtains Ph.D. (Medicine) at Saga University Graduate School
DeeL Inc. (Headquarters: Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture), which provides decision-making support through data science and support for generative AI utilization, is pleased to announce that its Representative Director, Yuya Shinkawa, has completed the doctoral program at the Saga University Graduate School of Medical Science and obtained a Ph.D. in Medicine. Taking this acquisition as an opportunity, we will further promote the fusion of research and practice based on expertise in medical statistics, and strive to realize more reliable data utilization.
Background and Purpose: Converting Complex Formulas into "Value" Usable from Tomorrow
Since its establishment, our company has set the mission of "creating value from data and optimizing decision-making," and has supported the DX promotion and AI introduction of many companies.
Recently, while the utilization of AI and data is rapidly spreading, the importance of the validity and logical basis (evidence) of methods is increasing more than ever. Representative Shinkawa has engaged in research in the doctoral program in parallel with company management in order to balance the sense of speed as a practitioner with the rigorous statistical thinking of a researcher.
Research Overview: Obtaining Intuitive Interpretation through Ingenuity in Modeling
At the graduate school, Shinkawa specialized in research on disease prediction and statistical causal inference using computational statistics and mathematical modeling.
In 2025, he received the "Student Research Presentation Award" from the Japanese Society of Computational Statistics, and his ingenuity in statistical modeling and its applicability to real data analysis have been highly evaluated academically.
The more accurate statistical analysis methods cultivated in the doctoral program and the logical approaches that create new perspectives on complex data structures will be given back to clients in our contract analysis business and education and training business.
Comment from Representative Director Yuya Shinkawa
"The days of continuously wearing two hats as a working graduate student, balancing management and research, were by no means easy, but the process of academically delving into the issues faced in practice has become an irreplaceable asset for me. The fact that the research I have accumulated has been evaluated and taken shape as a doctoral degree has brought me a great sense of accomplishment and confidence.
I believe that obtaining a doctoral degree is not the goal, but a new starting line as an expert. Moving forward, I will utilize the knowledge I have gained to push forward towards the realization of a more essential and highly reliable data society that goes beyond mere data analysis."
