Masahiro Negishi (根岸 優大)

I am a first-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Materials at Imperial College London. My supervisor is Professor Aron Walsh, and I am a member of the Materials Design Group. I received my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Computer Science from the University of Tokyo.

Current research interests include:

• Inverse design of crystals using generative models, reinforcement learning, and other machine learning techniques
• Evaluation metrics for inverse design of materials

I love to read books. Some of my favorites are:

• “The Three-Body Problem” by Cixin Liu (and his other works are also unquestionably masterpieces),
• “Space Brothers” by Chuya Koyama,
• “How to Do Nothing” by Jenny Odell.

Lately, I have been really into working out and jogging.
