Representative Yuya Shinkawa Obtains Ph.D. in Medicine from Saga University Graduate School

DeeL Inc. (Headquarters: Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture), a company specializing in decision-making support through data science and generative AI utilization, is pleased to announce that its Representative Director, Yuya Shinkawa, has completed his doctoral program at the Saga University Graduate School of Medical Sciences and has been awarded a Ph.D. in Medicine. With this achievement, the company will further promote the integration of research and practice based on expertise in medical statistics, working toward the realization of more reliable data utilization.

Background and Purpose: Transforming Complex Formulas into "Value" Ready for Use

Since our founding, we have operated under the mission of "creating value from data and optimizing decision-making," supporting many companies in their DX (Digital Transformation) initiatives and AI implementation.

While the use of AI and data has spread rapidly in recent years, the importance of methodological validity and logical evidence has become higher than ever. To balance the speed required of a practitioner with the rigorous statistical thinking of a researcher, Representative Shinkawa has engaged in doctoral research while simultaneously managing the company.

Research Overview: Gaining Intuitive Interpretation through Model Innovation

At the graduate school, Shinkawa specialized in 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, where his innovations in statistical modeling and their potential for application in real-world data analysis were highly acclaimed academically.

The high-precision statistical analysis methods and logical approaches for generating new perspectives on complex data structures cultivated during his doctoral program will be passed on to our clients through our commissioned analysis and educational training services.

Comment from Representative Director Yuya Shinkawa

"As a working graduate student, balancing the dual roles of management and research was by no means easy, but the process of deeply exploring the challenges I face in practice from an academic perspective has become an invaluable asset to me. Having my accumulated research evaluated and formalized as a Ph.D. has brought me a great sense of achievement and confidence.

I do not consider obtaining a Ph.D. to be a goal, but rather a new starting line as an expert. Moving forward, I will leverage the knowledge I have gained to strive for the realization of a more essential and reliable data society that goes beyond mere data analysis."
