Profile

 A doctoral student in Kyoto University. In 1998, Fumiya Hori was born in Taketa, Oita Prefecture, Japan. He became interested in science from a young age because of "Galileo", Japanese television drama. He studied physics at Hiroshima University and graduated in 2020. He is now a 3rd-year PhD student in Department of Physics, Kyoto University.

Profile

　I'm specializing in condensed-matter physics in Kyoto University. My research focuses on the experimental investigation of exotic materials manifesting novel quantum phenomena. Recently, I've mainly performed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)/nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) mesurements on rare-earth-based compounds with strong electron correlations to investigate the magnetic states from a microscopic view.

Name

Fumiya HORI

Position

3rd-year PhD student, Quantum Materials Laboratory,
Department of Physics, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University
JSPS Research Fellowship for Young Scientists (DC2)

Birthday

Jan 28, 1998 (Same birthday as Gen Hoshino, Japanese singer-songwriter)

Birthplace

Taketa, Oita Prefecture, Japan
...It's located in the middle of Kyushu region of Japan. Rentaro Taki, a Japanese composer in the late 19th Century, used his experience as a boy playing in Oka Castle placed in Taketa to write Kojo-no-Tsuki (Moon over Ruined Castle), a Japanese folk song. Hakusui Dam, considered to be “Japan's most beautiful dam,” is built in Taketa. Taketa is surrounded by mountains such as Mt. Aso and Mt. Kuju with abundant nature, magnificent scenery, and many hot springs.

Hobbies and special skills

　I like listening to music and singing songs. I also like arranging music for acappella and composing music. My favorite artist is ONE OK ROCK, a Japanese rock band. My favorite food is Ramen (I highly recommend Ramen Ikedaya in Ichijoji area, Kyoto City). I'm good at table tennis. My special skill is to keep singing songs with repeatedly switching the microphone from my right hand to my left hand while moving and dancing (Check the sight of me singing).
