2018VL/HCC '18Live IDE

I have been involved in various activities with a broad interest in science and technology. In the past, I constructed a website for promoting science and technology as the leader of the Tachibana seminar. After that, I have been continuously interested in science communication.

Since I started my research career, I have constantly been working on implementing the research results into society, writing essays on the future opened up by scientific research, and commenting on settings in science fiction films.
