I have been studying accurate, stable and fast formulations of boundary element method, its related eigenvalue solver in conjunction with the Sakurai-Sugiura ( contour integral ) method, as well as topology and shape optimization problems.
I am thus fluent in numerical solvers and their application to structual optimizations in computational mechanics and computational electromagnetics. I hope to apply my knowledge and experience with numerical methods to support customers' research and developments.

Introduction
I have conducted research on algebraic topological generalizations of the h-principle, a key technique in differential topology. While my primary expertise lies in algebraic topology, particularly in homology, I am also proficient in analytical methods and have explored areas such as symplectic and contact geometry. The strength of mathematics lies in its high universality, leading to technological innovations through its applications in unexpected fields. I offer the best mathematical approaches for research and development situations where breakthroughs in technical difficulties or new discoveries are required.
