Former Postdocs

Since 2013, I have hosted and mentored numerous postdoctoral fellows at the University of Tokyo. I have been involved in the selection and mentoring of the postdoctoral fellows at Kavli IPMU, and in addition I have hosted more postdocs, supported either by my grant or the JSPS fellowships. It is too many to list all of them, so let me here list only those with whom I ended up collaborating directly.
