Comments Title: Mathematical Physics at the Intersection of Control Engineering and Mathematical Science!

Content: As a culmination of my research and education to date, I am pursuing the catchphrase "Mathematical Physics at the Intersection of Control Engineering and Mathematical Science!"

Under this slogan, I am conducting research within the framework of mathematical physics and control theory, using the tools of applied dynamical systems that underlie them. More specifically, within the framework of quantum mechanical many-body problems, I am using applied mathematics and applied mathematical techniques to understand and control the electronic states of alloy surfaces used in artificial photosynthesis and hydrogen storage. I am also interested in industry-academia collaboration within this framework. I would like to take on the challenge of interdisciplinary research and education in this area! I also welcome motivated students to take on the challenge.

It has been over 15 years since I last worked with biology and life phenomena, or medical, dental, pharmaceutical, or ecological fields. For the past 10 years, my specialty has been mathematical physics, control theory, and the applied dynamical systems that underlie them. I summarize it as follows: This may be quoted as (***)!
