ProfessorI am researching microorganisms that "breathe" unusual substances such as iodine, arsenic, and antimony. I am interested in unraveling the key enzymes of these microorganisms and exploring their bio-remediation functions. Additionally, I am intrigued by understanding the dominance mechanisms of microorganisms in fermented foods and exploring the associated control mechanisms.

Recent Topics of Interest:
I am interested in applied research focused on anaerobic fermentative bacteria, exploring their capacities for producing organic acids and facilitating metal reduction, to utilize their functions for practical applications.
Motto in Research or in Life:
Go with the flow, trust my instincts, and head towards what brings joy without overplanning.
Hobby / Holiday:
Watching movies, Working out, Swimming
