Research Projects
My research theoretically investigates how ordered structures (patterns) appear in natural phenomena. In particular, I mathematically analyze how soft materials, such as polymers like jelly and liquid crystals used in televisions, as well as biological cells, create and break down beautiful structures. These phenomena are complex, but I am conducting research to estimate mathematical models using machine learning.
The appeal of research
The natural world is full of mysterious phenomena. Even understanding just one of them can lead to new insights that no one has ever known before. Natural phenomena may seem complex at first glance, but sometimes they can be understood in a very simple way. By understanding one thing mathematically, we begin to realize that things that were previously considered separate can be understood in the same way. I believe these experiences can only be gained through research.
Achievements
We proposed a machine learning method to estimate the governing equations for realizing the desired structure in the self-assembly phenomena of polymers and colloids. Furthermore, we have constructed and analyzed nonlinear waves of protein concentrations involved in cell division, mathematical models of spontaneously moving droplets, and mathematical models of periodic structures observed in the cytoskeleton.

Research Contents
Our group is theoretically studying the dynamics of pattern formation. A particular focus is on soft materials, such as polymers in gels, liquid crystals used TV, and biological cells. Those systems are very complex, but with the aid of machine learning, we may estimate mathematical models to understand them.
Attractive Factors of My Research
Nature is full of interesting phenomena. Understanding a small piece of it gives us new insight which nobody has done. A natural phenomonon is very complex, but still, it is often understood by simple theoretical idea. Mathematical science would help us find common aspects of completely different phenomena. Research would lead you to these experiences.
Achievement
Our group has proposed a machine-learning approach to estimate governing equations for the pattern formation of polymers and colloidal particles. Our research incudes nonlinear waves of proteins which play an essential role on cell division, modelling of self-propelled drops, and theoretical models for periodic patterns in cytoskelton.
