Introduction of Research

My main reseaerch interest is symplectic geometry. Symplectic geometry has historical roots in Hamiltonian systems in classical mechanics and has gained recent attention for its connections with various other fields.

I am particularly interested in studying the metric and group structures of the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms, which is one of the transformation groups of a symplectic manifold. Additionally, I research their applications, such as non-displaceable fibers in integrable systems, and I am also interested in applying group-theoretic arguments used to study the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms to other transformation groups like the contact diffeomorphism group and the diffeomorphism group.
