Assistant Professor
The University of TokyoI am working on developing new computational framework called Hebbian Physics Network, inspired by Prigogine's dissipative structures and our causal interpretation of hebbian learning rule in neuroscience. This physics-first computational method combines the concepts of fundamental physics, non-equlibrium thermodynamics, and neuromorphic computations.

Post-Doc
The University of TokyoWorked as post-doc at the Daiguji and Hsu lab, the University of Tokyo. My work here is focused on non-equilibrium thermodynamics of nano-confined fluids, heterogeneous nucleation, and multiscale granular flow. We are trying to connect the mulitple scales in this phenomena through analytical modeling and molecular / CFD simulations.
