Theme of Research Seminars: 1) Network Simulation, and 2) Simulation of the Japanese Economy with Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) model

My main passion is programming, and here in the Aqua (Advancing Quantum Architecture) seminar we are using absolutely cutting edge technology. It gives me tremendous satisfaction being able to work on an area so new that almost nobody has worked on it before. In addition, there are a lot of visitors from businesses coming to the campus, and sometimes this can result in business opportunities. I have had an opportunity to work as a mentor, teaching kids programming and debugging a simple application for kids, as a part time job that came out of a meeting on the campus.
