I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Biology, where my research focuses on cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET), an imaging technique that reveals the three-dimensional architecture of cells and their internal organelles. My current work involves developing an algorithm to reconstruct membrane structures from cryo-ET data by combining machine learning approaches with the physical principles of membrane mechanics.

Before this position, I earned a B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from Kyoto University in Japan and a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. Throughout both degrees, I worked in the field of computational biomechanics, applying simulation and modeling techniques to biological systems.
