I was born and raised in Saitama, Japan. I am a Ph.D. student in Iwabuchi Research Group at Tohoku University, and I work on natural product synthesis using Cu-catalyzed enantioselective aziridination. I joined Prof. Denmarkâs group as a visiting student to learn machine-learning-based ligand optimization and apply it to our research. In my spare time, I like running, watching anime, and reading mystery novels.
