Recent Activities

In nature, there are a number of diverse organisms living in complex interactions with each other. These interactions sometimes cause unexpected but exciting ecological phenomena. I am studying to reveal mechanisms behind emergent ecological phenomena by applying and developing novel analytical frameworks.

Message to Students

I believe it is important to understand how I myself see the nature. Through enjoying science, I look forward to get in touch with your conception of the nature.
