I am an assistant professor at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, Japan. My research involves mostly symbiotic microorganisms, but I (and recently also my kids) really enjoy finding and taking pictures of all kinds of eukaryotes.

I can provide high-resolution files for most of the pictures -- please email me if interested. I provide my pictures free of charge for teaching, science, and other non-profit purposes. However, all pictures presented in my iNaturalist profile are copyrighted and cannot be used elsewhere without my prior permission.
