Biography
I am a PostDoc at the National Institute of Informatics, Tokyo. I am interested in almost everything TCS/ Computational Complexity related but my focus is on arithmetic circuit complexity. You can find a list of my current publications in my DBLP or Google Scholar. A more selected view with abstracts can be found on this homepage under Publication. Apart from my main interest in Computational Complexity, I also have many other interest such as programming (as you can see from my github), machine learning,Video Game Making and Music Production. You can find my Academic CV and my software focused CV. I sometimes write posts on either TCS or Games Mechanics.Selected Projects
- Toukakoukan A way to split bills by automatically calculating who how much. Uses rust, svelte, daisyui, tailwindcss, typescript, javascript and is a PWA.
- Musicbrainz Release Grabber Grabs new release from the musicbrainz database. Parses directory names, finds the corresponding UUID and checks for new releases using the XML api. Using Rust.
- TheoryGrabber Fetch various TCS papers from ECCC and arxiv, downloads them puts them in a folder. Using Rust.
- SerieViewer A simple interface in Qt to show shows and remember which episode I am in. Simple to start the next episode with one button press if available.
- Viola A music player written in Rust with a frontend of GTK. It supports playlists, smart playlists, library view and much more. Over time, I moved the frontend to React, Typescript with the backend in Rust. Recently, Changed the frontend to Rust with seed-rs, yew and Web Assembly.
