2007年に東京大学理学部数学科卒業。卒業後は国内のIT企業でソフトウェア開発者として勤務。2015年に数学を学び直すことを決意し、2016年より東京大学大学院・数理科学研究科の修士課程に進学しました。古田幹雄教授の指導の下、2019年に修士号、2022年に博士号（数理科学）を取得。2022年4月より理化学研究所数理創造プログラムの基礎科学特別研究員。2025年4月より同研究所の研究員として勤務し、トポロジーの研究に従事しています。 

Graduated from the Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, the University of Tokyo, in 2007. After graduation, worked as a software developer at a domestic IT company. In 2015, decided to return to the study of mathematics and entered the Master’s Program at the Graduate School of Mathematical Sciences, the University of Tokyo, in 2016. Under the supervision of Professor Mikio Furuta, obtained a Master’s degree in 2019 and a Doctorate in Mathematical Sciences in 2022. Since April 2022, has been a Special Postdoctoral Researcher at iTHEMS RIKEN. Since April 2025, has been working as a Research Scientist at the same institute, conducting research in topology. 

私が数学に興味を持ったのは高校生の時です．穴埋めをしながら定義の意味を考えられる，先生手作りの教科書があり，それを予習するのが楽しく数学が好きになりました．一方で，中高は女子校に通っており，理系は女性が非常に少ないときいて，全く違う環境に進学することに不安も感じていました．実際，数理科学科に進学した際には同学年の女性は私を含めて２人しかおらず，教員や他学年を含めても極端に女性割合が低い状況には戸惑いました．しかし，よい先生や友人をはじめとした周囲の人との関わりから，数学の勉強や研究を続けたいという気持ちを持ち続けることができました．学部４年生の時に出会った力学系理論，特に熱力学形式と呼ばれる統計力学のアイディアに基づいて力学系の不変測度を研究する理論に興味を持っています．博士課程修了後は，半年ずつ国内・海外でのポスドクを経て，現在の大学に就職しました．

I became interested in mathematics when I was in high school. There was a teacher-made textbook that allowed me to think about the meaning of definitions while filling in the blanks, and I enjoyed preparing for it, which made me like mathematics. On the other hand, I attended an all-girls school for both junior and senior high school, and I heard that there were very few women in science tracks, so I was also anxious about entering a completely different environment. In fact, when I progressed to the Department of Mathematical Sciences, there were only two women in the same grade, including myself, and the proportion of women was extremely low even when including faculty and other grades, which was confusing.  However, through interactions with good teachers and friends, I was able to maintain my desire to continue studying and researching mathematics. In my fourth year of undergraduate studies, I became interested in dynamical systems theory, particularly the theory researching invariant measures of dynamical systems based on the ideas of statistical mechanics called the thermodynamic formalism. After completing my doctoral program, I worked as a postdoc for six months each in Japan and abroad before joining my current university.

高校のときは（受験）数学があまり好きではなく、工学部へ。囲碁にハマっており自分より囲碁が強い人工知能を作りたかった。当時の人工知能はまだまだ卵の段階で魅力を見いだせず、機械に考えさせるのではなく、やはり自分が考えたいと思うようになり数学を学び始める。同時にサークル活動にて演劇をやっており、役者か学者か、迷った末に少しだけ学者のほうに才能を感じたので研究者を目指す道へ。とにかく面白いものが好きで、分野にこだわりはなく、正直に言うとそもそも学問でなくてもよい。大学院では３次元双曲幾何学、その後タイヒミュラー理論とそれに関連するランダムウォーク、現在は２次元と３次元の双曲幾何学をつなげる分野に興味を持っている。

In high school, I didn’t particularly enjoy mathematics, so I went on to study engineering. At that time, I was deeply into the game of Go and wanted to create an AI that could play better than I could. However, AI was still in its infancy, and I realized that I was more interested in thinking for myself than in making machines think. That realization led me to study mathematics. At the same time, I was also involved in a theater club, and for a while, I couldn’t decide whether to pursue acting or academia. In the end, I felt I had slightly more talent as a scholar than as an actor, so I chose the research path. I have always been drawn to whatever I find intellectually engaging, regardless of the field, and to be honest, it doesn’t even have to be “academic”. In graduate school, I studied 3-dimensional hyperbolic geometry; later, my interests expanded to Teichmüller theory and related random walks. Currently, I’m fascinated by questions that bridge 2- and 3-dimensional hyperbolic geometry.
