KS is a neurogeneticist based in Japan. My research focuses on the neural mechanisms underlying innate behaviors in Drosophila melanogaster, with emphasis on how neural circuits are shaped and modified by gene-environment interplay.

To elucidate this mechanism, I employ a multidisciplinary approach that integrates molecular biology, electrophysiology, and machine learning-based analysis of animal behavior.
