Self-introduction

My name is Tomoya Nagai. I joined as a coordinator in April 2023. I started working after getting the Ph.D. in astrophysics and have worked in science communication, R&D strategy development, research funding and R&D management. Until March 2023, I worked at KEK and Kobe University, where I was manager of research projects using the supercomputer “Fugaku". I proposed and applied for the annual S&T poster for everyone titlled “Mathematics Connecting to the World: One S&T poster for Every Household” for Science and Technology Week 2024, and produced it as the team representative.
I will do my best to help you in your research.
