Masayuki received his BS in physics from Kyoto University in 2004 and joined Yoshiro Takahashi's group at Kyoto University. For his master course, he worked on studying quantum vortices in a Rb Bose-Einstein Condensate. For his PhD, he worked as a Research Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. His PhD work was focused on laser cooling and trapping of dual-species (Li and Yb) ultracold atoms. After he completed his PhD in 2010, he joined Shigeki Takeuchi's group at Hokkaido University/Osaka University (later Kyoto University) as a post-doc working on quantum optics using quantum entangled photon pairs. He joined the Stamper-Kurn's group in 2015 to work on the optical Kagome lattice experiment.
