Please give a simple description of your work at your workplace / laboratory.
I am a microbial ecologist, working on aquatic ecosystems, mainly in freshwater lakes. I study on the ecology of eukaryotic microorganisms in the largest freshwater lake in Japan (Lake Biwa). My work is mainly focussed on understanding the ecological role of these microorganisms, which is important to understand the process occurring in the freshwater environments, especially deep lakes.

The primary reason for choosing Kyoto University is as it is one of the top universities in the world and has excellent research environment and infrastructure.
How do you like life in Japan and Japanese culture?
Life in Japan is amazing. Japanese people are very polite, honest and helpful so I feel very comfortable everywhere. Daily life here is so convenient that I do not have to worry about anything else and it helps a lot to focus completely on my work. I like Japanese culture and also Japanese food.
