1.What kind of the research are you doing?

I interested in properties of multiple zeta values using integral representations on 2-colored partially ordered sets. Multiple zeta values are generalization of special values of the Riemann zeta function, and related to various research subjects such as hypergeometric functions and knots. I like the combinatorics appearing in the computations of the integral representations on 2-colored partially ordered sets, and I hope to find new properties by such computations.

2.What is the reason for starting your study?

When I was a first-year undergraduate student, a professor told me about the Riemann Hypothesis. I had always believed that there was an answer to every problem until I learned about the Riemann Hypothesis, so I was shocked that no one knows the answer. When I told him about this, he introduced me to a research meeting on multiple zeta values. At that time, I had no knowledge and could not understand anything, but I began to visit research meetings where there were lectures on multiple zeta values. I noticed that I was also interested in multiple zeta values. I started studying multiple zeta values in my master's course. The above professor became my supervisor in the doctoral course, and advised me to "Refine one technique that no one can beat." Since I like combinatorial calculation and I decided to use the integral representations on the 2-colored partially ordered sets as my weapon, and I am still researching based on the method.

3.Message for prospective students

When I was a high school student, I was worried about which university I should enter. Even if I seek it in Kansai area where I lived at the time, there were a wide variety of universities, faculties, and departments. I didn't know how to choose. So, I thought about what I could do without getting bored during my four years at university. I like mathematics since I was a child, and I realized that I could work on it without getting bored. I entered a mathematics department at a university. I continue with mathematics and now became a "mathematician" who does mathematics as a job. I am still inexperienced and still learning every day, and I will continue to do my best. Why don't you find something you like and try to explore it deeply?
