About Me
I am conducting research on Materials Informatics (MI), applying machine learning and mathematical optimization to materials science. My particular interests lie in efficient experimental design using Bayesian optimization and the development of autonomous materials discovery systems. Through data-driven and AI-based approaches, I aim to accelerate materials development and create new scientific insights.
