Background
  • Initially attended medical school with the goal of becoming a basic medical researcher and worked as a clinician for several years after graduation.
  • Shifted to applied mathematics due to a long-standing interest in methods for extracting information from data since student days.
  • Aims to contribute to medicine through theoretical research on methods for analyzing biological data.
  • Research spans mathematical sciences, information sciences, statistical sciences, and life sciences, specializing in discrete mathematics (combinatorics, graph theory, discrete geometry, discrete algorithms).
  • Strength lies in formulating important biological problems into mathematical ones and creating new theorems and algorithms to solve them.
  • Currently focused on the mathematical and computational aspects of phylogenetic trees and networks and their applications, which help elucidate biological processes like cell differentiation and viral/bacterial evolution.
  • Actively involved in education and outreach, including a dedicated laboratory YouTube channel.
