Message from Faculty
I received B.S, and Ph.D. in Applied Physics and Physico-Informatics at Keio University in 2005 and 2009 working with Prof. Yasuhiro Koike on the development of novel polymer optical fibers with the highest bandwidth in the world. I was selected as a Research Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science for 2009-2011. After working with Prof. Mitsuhiro Shibayama in University of Tokyo on the gelation mechanism of Tetra-PEG gel in simulation and experiment, I joined the Kumar group as a postdoctoral research scientist in Spring 2013. My current project is self-assembly of polymer grafted nanoparticles. From May 2017 I joined Keio University as Project Assistant Professor with joint appointment as research scientist at Columbia University.
