Research experiences and interests
I studied nuclear chemical engineering at the University of Tokyo, where my initial research interest was experimental actinide science. After completing my Ph.D. studies, I gradually switched to theory and modeling. In 2005 I moved to Stockholm and joined the theory group of Prof. Ulf Wahlgren and Prof. Ingmar Grenthe and later worked at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Grenoble, France. Currently, I am working at the Biophysics Division of HZDR and my main focus is on the interaction of radionuclides with proteins. Since 2017, I have a second affiliation at the Institute of Science Tokyo where I work closely with Prof. Koichiro Takao.
