About

I am an incoming Bioengineering graduate student at University of Washington this September. I have studied the basics of medical devices and their applications at the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Chiba University, Japan. I began my research career in October 2021 at the Yamaya-laboratory in the National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST) in Japan, with a focus on Positron Emission Tomography (PET). I aspire to become a medical pioneer who improves the lives of many patients.
