My current works are mostly mathematical in nature, dealing with non-associative algebras. The most recent work is entitled "Symmetric Triality Relation and Structurable Algebra", which is currently under press to appear in Linear Algebras and Applications.

I have been awarded 1976 Nishina Prize from Nishina Foundation in Japan for works in particle physics. I am a member of the American Physical Society and American Mathematical Society
