Research experiences and interests

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