I am a theoretical condensed matter physicist studying emergent quantum phenomena in many-body systems, with a focus on topological superconductivity, Majorana bound states, odd-frequency pairing, fractional quantum Hall effect, and transport in low-dimensional quantum systems. My research explores the interplay between topology, strong interactions, and disorder, aiming to identify robust signatures of topological phases and develop unified theoretical frameworks for emergent quantum matter. I am particularly interested in exotic quasiparticles such as anyons and their potential applications in fault-tolerant quantum computation.

I received my undergraduate, master’s, and PhD degrees from Nagoya University under the supervision of Prof. Yukio Tanaka. After a brief appointment as a Project Assistant Professor at Nagoya University, I joined Kyushu University in 2026, where I am currently a Project Assistant Professor in the group of Prof. Kentaro Nomura.
