| Self Introduction | I am originally from Chiba. When I was in elementary school, I remember being excited by the news of a comet colliding with Jupiter and the possibility of finding traces of life in Martian meteorites. I believe this excitement led me to pursue my current path. I would like to continue my research without forgetting this sense of wonder and excitement. |
