Biographical Sketch

I received my Ph.D. in 2025 from the University of Tokyo under the supervision of Akito Kusaka. As a graduate student, I developed optical elements, particularly anti-reflection coatings, for ground-based cosmic microwave background experiments: the Simons Array and the Simons Observatory. During my Ph.D., I worked on deployment, observation strategy, data transfer, calibration, and data analysis for millimeter-wave circular polarization searches of astronomical sources with the Simons Array experiment.
