Research & Vision
I am currently a student at Waseda University, heavily involved in the Electrical Engineering Laboratory. My foundational research revolves around low-power computation, C/Java systems architecture, and fine and coarse-grain parallelizing compilers.
Recently, I have directed this systems-level expertise toward the most critical bottleneck in decentralized finance (DeFi): privacy. I am fascinated by the potential of DeFi, but standardizing privacy for personal and financial data requires immense computational overhead. I spend my time researching Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) and Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), exploring how compiler optimization and parallelization techniques can accelerate secure cryptographic protocols for real-world usability.
Current Work & Engineering Background
Applied Cryptography & Privacy
Investigating architectural bottlenecks in ZKP generation and TEE deployment. My goal is to build scalable, real-world solutions that protect user anonymity on-chain without compromising network performance or usability.
Parallelizing Compilers
Extensive academic work at Waseda focused on fine-grain and coarse-grain parallelization and low-power hardware optimization. This systems background informs my approach to accelerating cryptographic primitives.
Aerospace & Jet Propulsion
Previous engineering experience designing jet propulsion systems. This discipline ingrained a rigorous, mathematics-first approach to solving complex physics and fluid dynamic challenges.
Aquatic Drone Startup
Serving as Lead Designer for an Okinawa-based hardware startup. We engineer autonomous aquatic drones from the ground up to monitor local marine environments and safely navigate the delicate Okinawan bishi.
