Research areas	Mathematics, Complex dynamical systems, Random complex dynamical systems, Fractals, Ergodic theory
Keywords	Chaos, Fractals, Randomness-induced phenomena, Complex singular functions
Themes	I am working on (random) complex dynamical systems and fractal geometry. Especially, I am interested in randomness-induced phenomena ( new phenomena in random dynamical systems which cannot hold in deterministic dynamical systems).
