I have moved to The Australian National University, where I have got a faculty position; my new webpage is available as per below.

My official webpage at The Australian National University (ANU) is as follows. This researchmap webpage, including the list of publications, is not updated any more, and thus obsolute already; the up-to-date list of publications is, and shall be, given in my new webpage as per above, which shall be maintained permanently wherever I am in the world (until the day I die).

To be strange in the 21st century, I work on everything academic, like 17th century scholars, whether it is mathematics, computer science, natural science, natural philosophy, or whatever else, but these days, I am working on the categorical integration of symbolic and statistical AI, as well as categorical logic and duality theory, my long-standing enterprises.

Technically, I am a Lecturer at the Research School of Computer Science, The Australian National University, and my DPhil from the University of Oxford is in (Quantum) Computer Science. So, technically, I must qualify as a computer scientist. Computer science is arguably universal science, allowing us to manoeuvre between different scientific disciplines. 

My course at ANU has more than 300 students enrolled across Computer Science and Philosophy Schools. To accommodate a vast number of students, lecture theatres are literally theatres, in which avant-garde movies play, as well as cutting-edge scientific lectures. I like face-to-face contacts with students, though difficult in light of the current situation, and evaluate them according to the `principle of tolerance' (cf. Carnap). I also like advising them about aspects of life (when I am asked to). 

Australia is a place where all sorts of cultures encounter each other, including the American, the British, and the Asian. It is an intriguing mixture of US, UK, and Asia. The English spoken is pretty close to British English, I would say. It is a highly inclusive country where nonstandard persons are naturally accommodated, as well as kangaroos, koalas, and crocodiles.

Feel free to contact me if you are interested in any aspect of my work, whether in English or in Japanese (but in no other language please). All my previous email addresses are working, so if you already know one, that one works for sure. If you visit ANU, I am happy to show you around; there are even wild kangaroos around (just 15 minutes walk from the civic).

My old bio in Japanese (for a new bio, visit the ANU webpage as per above): 「万物の理論」としての「圏論的双対性」を研究しています。京都大学総合人間学部(理系)、京都大学文学研究科修士課程、オックスフォード大学数理・物理・生命科学部門(計算機科学科量子情報グループ)の博士課程を経て、京都大学白眉センター着任。数学・物理・情報を横断する圏論的双対性の理論・応用研究により、オックスフォード大学より D.Phil. in Computer Science 取得。JSTさきがけ兼任。
