I am a mathematician. But I dabble a lot in the applied sciences. So far my application domains include AI, celestial mechanics, cell biology. My mathematical expertise mainly concerns dynamical systems and lately I am very drawn to data science and neural network problems. Currently, my main focus is reservoir computing. I am in the Notsu-lab at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics in Kanazawa University. My research is funded by CREST.

For my research I mainly use Python. I have worked on a couple of mechanical and material science problems in collaboration with industry, and I am always on the look for new collaborations.

I am an organizer of the Kanazawa Analysis Seminar KAS and Differential Equations for Data Science seminar DEDS, if you want to join our seminar mailingslist click here. I am a member of the Reservoir Computing seminar group.

As a first generation university graduate with a lower class background I very strongly believe in a grass-roots approach to science. I am very supportive of open-source. I think that a delta-function perspective on research is outdated in the age of model-free methods.
