Welcome to our lab group’s website! We study intriguing patterns in living systems using physical experiments and mathematical modeling. Our research seeks to understand the complex movements of microscopic organisms and nutrients that play essential roles in ecology, sustainability, and human health.

Over the years, our work has united researchers across disciplines and received funding from ARO, NIH, and NSF. If you are interested in joining our group or collaborating on a project, please feel free to email me.

Bio: I was born in Osaka, Japan, and raised in Geneva, Switzerland. I earned my PhD in applied mathematics at the University of Cambridge in the UK, followed by a postdoc at NYU in New York, where I experimented with microscopic robots. Now, as a math professor in Hawaii, I love exploring ideas with people here and around the world!
