Tasuku Soma （相馬 輔）

Hi! I am an associate professor in the Institute of Statistical Mathematics and the Graduate Univerisity for Advanced Studies, SOKENDAI, Tokyo, Japan.

Previously, I was a JSPS postdoctoral fellow in the department of mathematics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where I was fortunate to be mentored by Michel Goemans. Before MIT, I was a research associate and a Ph.D student in the University of Tokyo, where I had the privilege of being mentored and supervised by Satoru Iwata.
