Medical doctor, Neuroscientist (M.D., Ph.D.)
- Specializes in neuroscience, aging, and artificial intelligence .
- I love the moment when learning new knowledge makes the world seem more ordered.
Brief biography
- Born in 1991 in Japan. Graduated from Department of Medicine, the University of Tokyo (M.D., B.A.).
- After three years of clinical training, I got my Ph.D. at the University of Tokyo majoring in neuroscience, aging, and artificial intelligence (March 2022).
- I am currently working on both clinical and research projects at the University of Tokyo (April 2022-).
Others
- Played baseball for 14 years, love baseball! (Article in NumberWeb)
- You can find the latest information about neuroscience , aging, and artificial intelligence on my Twitter. Please look at!
