\"\"<\/p>\n

I can’t say that I always knew I’d be a planetary scientist, but being full of wonder from a child, I got the chance to be engaged in academic activities.<\/p>\n

I did my bachelor’s degree and master’s degree in science at the University of Tokyo and then decided planetary science would give me a chance to pursue the “Planet and Life” -type problem I have really been curious about. And then, I got a Ph.D. at The University of Tokyo on 2008.<\/p>\n

Now, I’m an Assistant Professor at the Department of Astronomy, Kyoto University.<\/p>\n
