Kiyohito Nagano

I am a postdoc at "Global COE: Computationism as a Foundation for the Sciences (CompView in short)",
and a member of Masakazu Kojima Laboratory.
I was a PhD student at University of Tokyo, supervised by
Prof. Kazuo Murota and
Prof. Satoru Iwata,
and a special research student at RIMS, Kyoto University.
I received a PhD in information science and technology from University of Tokyo.
