I am from Koga, Ibaraki. I obtained B.S./M.S. from the University of Tokyo and Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia, and then worked for Harvard University as a postdoc before coming to Kyoto. My research area is geometry inspired by theoretical physics, particularly focusing on a special class of spaces called “Calabi-Yau manifolds”. There are various kinds of Calabi-Yau manifolds and each of them is unique and interesting in its own way. I have been fascinated by a mysterious symmetry, known as mirror symmetry, among several Calabi-Yau manifolds. I am very pleased to have a chance to work in Kyoto, one of my favorite cities in Japan.
