Happy New Year! I hope you all have a great year!

I participated in the AGU Fall Meeting 2023 held at San Francisco during December 11–15. We had a good poster presentation with lively discussions with worldwide researchers. I can’t wait the next opportunity to interact with you all!

I visited the United States Geological Survey in Golden, CO for a month and conducted collaborative studies with Dr. David Shelly. It was a fantastic stay and a good opportunity to proceed my research.

I’m going to San Francisco for the upcoming meeting of American Geophysical Union. I have a poster presentation related to my current study .

Our new paper is publishded! We analyzed shear wave splitting from receiver functions in Shikoku Island, SW Japan, and along-dip variation of fast axes is clarified. Check it out!

I joined the 2023 SSJ Fall Meeting held in Yokohama and made a poster presentation.

I earned Grant-in-Aid for Research Activity start-up, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (Grant Number 23K19077).

I visited Tohoku University Aobayama Campus for a scientific meeting. This made me feel nostalgic.

I visited the University of Tsukuba and National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED) for scientific meetings. I made a presentation about my PhD thesis in NIED.

I made an invited speech titled “Heterogeneous seismic structure at Hyuga-nada from receiver-side Green’s functions” in the Japan Geoscience Union Meeting 2023 (JpGU). We had numerous intriguing talks from world-wide young researchers in our session “Seismological Advances in the Ocean”. We enjoyed seeing each other and I believe that face-to-face communication brings scientific innovation!

I start a new research life as a postdoc in the Geological Survey of Japan (AIST) in April. My job is to participate in the STAR-E (Seismology TowArd Research innovation with data of Earthquake) project organized by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in Japan.
