About Me

I work in algebraic and arithmetic geometry, for the most part, my research focuses on curves and their moduli spaces in positive characteristic from the point of view of fundamental groups. I was a graduate student at RIMS, Kyoto University, and received my Doctor of Science degree in March 2017, under supervision of Professor Shinichi Mochizuki.

During my student days, I was deeply influenced by the techniques, the way to view mathematics, and research tastes of Professors Shinichi Mochizuki, Michel Raynaud, and Akio Tamagawa. Impacted by the beauty of Tamagawa's famous finiteness theorem, I began to explore the fundamental groups of curves in positive characteristic in my own way since 2016. After years of solitary exploration, the theory of anabelian geometry of curves over algebraically closed fields of positive characteristic can now be unified under the theoretical framework of the "moduli spaces of fundamental groups". I am firmly convinced that this theory provides the correct philosophy to approach the fantastic objects: the anabelian phenomena of curves over algebraically closed fields of positive characteristic.

I am a project lecturer at RIMS, Kyoto University. My research was supported by JSPS Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant Numbers 16J08847 and 20K14283, and is currently supported by JSPS Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant Numbers 24K16896 (since April, 2024).
