Dr. Kenji Yoshida Kozai is a mathematician who specializes in low-dimensional topology, specifically geometric structures on three-manifolds and knotting and linking in spatial graph embeddings. He loves teaching undergraduate-level mathematics and mentoring students so that they can be successful in and beyond the classroom.
