PhD Keio University

I study cellular and developmental biology in ascidians. By using the latest imaging techniques, detailed image analysis and mathematics, I hope to elucidate the simple laws that govern complex tissue deformations during development. Outside of research, I enjoy taking some exercise, going outside and taking pictures.

PhD Harvard University

I study cellular, developmental, and evolutionary biology, with a particular interest in insects. My current work is focused on the delightful diversity of insect egg shapes and unpacking the cellular mechanisms that lead to their formation. I enjoy the intersection of art and science, ping pong, sports, paper crafts, and board games.

I am using machine learning approaches to improve particle tracking analysis in 2D and 3D systems. Specifically, I’m using simulations of vesicles moving through cells to train a neural net to accurately identify and track particles through videos. I am focusing on how extracellular vesicles are secreted and taken up by cancer cells.

I study mechanisms of cell polarity establishment in early C.elegans embryogenesis. Specifically, I’m exploring the pattern of polarity formation and the cues required for  establishing polarity in the zygote’s daughter cell, P1.
