Assistant ProfessorAnimals often appear to adhere to certain behavioral rules, yet they exhibit distinct behavioral patterns among individuals, called personalities. Such diversity among individuals can be beneficial for a group. I am investigating the molecular and evolutionary mechanisms behind the emergence of behavioral diversity, possibly providing insights into our societies.
Recent Topics of Interests: Genetics behind emergent properties of collective behavior.

Associate ProfessorI am engaged in research aimed at studying the intracellular structure of plants. Particularly, I am focusing on lipid droplets, which serve as organelles responsible for lipid storage. The primary objectives of my research are twofold: firstly, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the significance of lipid storage in plants, and secondly, to make valuable contributions towards enhancing the production of plant lipids as a valuable food resource.
Recent Topics of Interest:
・In plants, oil droplets are found in leaves. Under what conditions do lipid droplets accumulate?
・What proteins are present in lipid droplets?
・What is the significance of plants having lipid droplets?
