About
I am an MPhil student majoring in Data Intensive Science at Cambridge.
Previously, I started graduate studies at the University of Tokyo under the supervision of Yutaka Matsuo, and I am currently on a one-year leave from UTokyo to pursue my studies at Cambridge.
I obtained my bachelor's degree in Mathematical Sciences with a minor in Cognitive Science from UTokyo, graduating as the Department Valedictorian.
I was fortunate to be advised by Masaaki Imaizumi and had the pleasure of collaborating with Shinji Ito.
Previously, I worked on deep learning theory, focusing on the topological and dynamical properties of machine learning models.
I am currently exploring topics at the intersection of physics, cognitive science, and machine learning, with a particular interest in
applying ML to algebraic geometry and in building neural data processing (encoding/decoding) models with strong generalizability
(e.g., robustness to representation shift).
My current research interests include:
Representation shift in chronic neural data
Cross-individual generalization in neural models
Bridging moduli spaces and metrics (as well as topological properties) on Calabi–Yau manifolds

Beyond Academia
Beyond my research, I’m fascinated by mathematics, cognitive science, art, and Chinese philosophy. I enjoy exploring the connections among these areas and how they shape my perspective.
I also love watching dramas, anime, and films, as well as bouldering, snowboarding, reading, volunteering, and photography. Some of my photos are available here.
