As a future-shaping innovator, I venture into uncharted worldlines.

Q　What was your motivation for joining the program, and what about the program appeals to you?

I applied to this program because I want to broaden my perspective by learning and interacting with participants from diverse fields and the corporate sector. During my graduate studies, I find its most tremendous appeal in the opportunity to fully engage in HW projects—research that extends beyond my specialization. Moreover, through collaboration with industry, I believe I can directly gain insights into real-world applications beyond academic boundaries and acquire the perspectives needed to contribute to a more sustainable society.

Q　What is your expertise and how do you want to develop it with the program?

My expertise lies in fluid mechanics, particularly in applying machine learning to low-Reynolds-number Stokes flows. With an eye toward the future realization of nano-machines reminiscent of those depicted in science fiction, I am currently investigating the optimal operating patterns and underlying mechanisms of artificial cilia as actuators. Through this program, I aim to integrate these engineering-oriented approaches with insights from the life sciences—such as understanding the remarkable efficiency of living systems and the evolutionary processes through which cilia were acquired—to achieve a more profound, interdisciplinary comprehension that transcends conventional boundaries.

Q　What are your future dreams and goals?

I aim to become an innovator-researcher capable of thriving in academic and corporate realms, striving to reach unexplored worldlines.
