I am a physician-scientist specializing in causal modeling within the realm of chronic disease epidemiology. In 2013, I received my M.D. from the University of Tokyo, and then in 2021, I earned my Ph.D. in Epidemiology from UCLA, following a period of practice as an endocrinologist. My long-term career goal is to reduce the global health burden imposed by chronic diseases, including but not limited to diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease, thyroid disorders, and cardiovascular disease. To this end, I am focusing on developing robust methodological skills in epidemiology and statistics, with a particular emphasis on causal inference and machine learning. My aim is to leverage these skills to construct a strong evidence base for future clinical management and policy interventions concerning chronic diseases.
