I am a third-year Ph.D. candidate in chemistry at the University of Adelaide, under the supervision of Professor Tara Pukala and Associate Professor David Huang. My research focuses on combining analytical and computational chemistry techniques to characterize and design novel DNA-binding oligonucleotides. I earned my B.Sc. and M.Sc. in chemistry from Nagoya University, researching NLS-PNA conjugates for DNA recognition, and spent 2.5 years in industry at Mitsuwaka Pure Chemicals Research Institute, working in organic synthesis, formulation development, and quality control. I actively engage in education and science communication, aiming to bridge disciplines and foster global scientific collaboration.
