My field of expertise is systems biology. I have been working on developing methods to construct mathematical models for large-scale chemical reaction systems, such as metabolism, and to analyze their characteristics efficiently and with high accuracy. Currently, I am aiming to elucidate the mechanisms of dormancy release in cherry blossoms by utilizing comprehensive gene expression analysis in combination with mathematical modeling.

I am interested in dynamical systems, particularly time-series and network analysis. I study chemical reaction systems in reactors, cells, and now in the air.
Karaoke, video games, bouldering, jellyfish
My research focuses on understanding the impact of human activities on biodiversity. To this end, I am conducting research at the intersection of several scientific disciplines.
Doctoral course
My research centers on mathematical models concerning host defenses. I'm delving into mathematical models linked to viral reactivation and plant BVOC (Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds). My goal is to quantify biological phenomena associated with host defenses and clarify their mathematical properties.
I love Pokemon Trading Card Game.
My research interest is time and spatial pattern generated by organisms. I'm studyng on seasonal pattern of the gene expression in trees. I explore how plants synchronize seasonal gene expression in response to environmental signals using data and mathematical modeling.
I like drawing pictures, playing the guitars, and fishing
I'm interested in the interactions between plant and herbivory insects and insect polymorphisms such as seasonal polyphenisms. So far, I have studied the evolutionary conditions of BVOC-mediated plant signaling. I plan to study the conditions for the evolution of seasonal polyphenism of butterflies with different mating times.
I like collecting insects and reading books
I am interested in the relationship between reproductive timing in wild plants and seasonal changes. Currently, I am studying the long-term fertilization delay observed in Fagaceae species by examining seasonal changes in tissue morphology and gene expression, with the aim of elucidating its underlying mechanisms.

Traveling, visiting cafés and restaurants, poker, and gaming
I am interested in the topological data analysis of leaf vein networks.
I love magic.
I am interested in spatiotemporal patterns generated by living organisms and in the emergence of ecosystem-level phenomena from cellular and genetic mechanisms. I study how isoprene emissions from Quercus serrata (konara oak) are regulated by external environmental conditions and the circadian clock.

Other staff
I am working on community ecology and conservation ecology focusing on arthropods in the forest canopy and soil, at Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden in Yunnan, China.
I love to play Frisbee (Ultimate)
I study about the genomic homology (synteny) of Fagaceae. Especially, I focus on the flowering genes and the genes involved in BVOC synthesis.

I have been working as a secretary since April 2023. I will try my best to support our members. In my private life, I am raising 3 year old twin boys. They are very energetic!
I enjoy cooking sweets and hiking.
I have conducted research using mathematical models to understand various fields of biology. The themes include life history adaptation, speciation, mate choice, sexual expression in marine organisms, morphological formation in development, cancer processes, biological rhythms, immune systems, and the emergence of cooperation in human society. I have often experienced that the same mathematical model provides insights across vastly different fields.
