Hayato spent his childhood in Malaysia, Spain, Italy, and his home country of Japan. He then attended Harvard college, where he worked in Prof. Eric Jacobsen’s lab investigating small-molecule hydrogen bond-donor catalyzed reactions. After graduation, he worked as a medicinal chemist at Gilead Sciences for a year and a half before coming to Caltech. At Caltech, he is interested in working at the interface of organic and inorganic chemistry, and is co-advised by Prof. Jonas Peters. Outside of lab, he enjoys soccer, skiing, and visiting new places.
