Assistant Professor at Auburn University, AL, USA. I study termite, behavior and evolution: https://mizumoto-lab.com/. I love onion rings.
Excited that our new paper is featured on the cover of J. R. Soc. Interface! (Rare to see termites there, right?)
We show how termites use their antennae and palps to stay in contact while tandem running.

I'm looking for a graduate student (either PhD or master's) to join my lab starting Jan 2026. If you know any students in social behavior and evolution (and termites!), please let them know!

Our new preprint is out! We analyzed the role of antennae movement while tandem running in termites with SLEAP.ai (video is also generated from this).

Our paper is out from BiolLett! We study termite mating "swarms" from the perspective of collective behavior and found
- Alates synchronize flight even under constant temperature.
- Synchronization is stronger in larger colonies (preliminary)

A new paper on termite mate pairing has been published. We showed how termites change their movement pattern and mate choice strategy when they cannot find a partner for a while.
