Developing generative models for quantum materials; predicting material properties like phonon dispersions directly from crystal structures using graph neural networks; exploring electronic transport in topological materials; designing AI-assisted workflows for radiation detection.
Research Experience
Held research internships at IBM Research, Yale University, and Rice University.
Education
Pursuing a Ph.D. at MIT, advised by Prof. Mingda Li; previously received M.S. and B.S. degrees from the Institute of Science Tokyo (formerly Tokyo Institute of Technology).
Background
Ph.D. candidate in Chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), focusing on structure–property relationships and inverse design of quantum materials, integrating computational physics, machine learning, and materials informatics to uncover novel quantum phenomena and accelerate materials discovery.
