Driven by the quest for knowledge, I have been passionate about addressing and solving our current global social issues through the application of computer science. With the support of the National Institute of Informatics, I’ve been studying a matching problem on course allocation, in which I focus on how fairness can be maximized through combinatorial optimization. During the pandemic two years ago, I realized the importance of molecular genetics and would like to study this field more. My dream for the future is to enrich the daily quality of life through computer science and biotechnology and become part of an innovative force using AI for the common good.
