Welcome to my homepage.
I am a Junior Associate Professor at Shizuoka University, working in theoretical condensed matter physics.
“The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.”
This idea captures a central concept in modern physics: emergence. In solids, strong interactions between many electrons can give rise to rich and often surprising collective behavior that cannot be understood from single-particle behavior alone.
My research focuses on how strong interactions in quantum materials generate remarkable states of matter, including spin liquids, topological phases, nonequilibrium dynamics, and strongly entangled quantum states. Using analytical theory and modern computational methods, we explore how these phases emerge, evolve, and can be detected experimentally.
Previously, I held postdoctoral positions at Tohoku University, The University of Tokyo, and Waseda University. I received my Ph.D. from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology and my diploma from Technische Universität Dresden.
