I am a Research Assistant Professor at the Institute of Mathematics for Industry, Kyushu University. My work is grounded in matroid theory, coding theory, and combinatorics, with current research on representability over finite rings, q-polymatroids, and finite-geometry-based constructions of optimal codes. I am currently supported by KAKENHI Grant-in-Aid for Young Scientists (25K17298), with a project on constructions of optimal codes based on matroid theory and finite geometry.
