I want to make true human-machine collaborative research possible by developing knowledge-based AI that (1) can understand and process sophisticated information just like people can, and (2) can participate in research on the same level as a fully-functional member of a research team.

When I looked at the natural world, I always wondered how something that seems so complex is actually made up of very simple patterns that makes nature what it is. As I explored nature, I found myself becoming a researcher.

I try to exercise my mind by playing chess and other exercises on a regular basis. I also train at the gym five days a week because living a healthy lifestyle and training my body gives me inspiration.
