I had the idea of #CubeHarmonic in 2013 while living and studying in #Paris, and then I developed it in collaboration with #Japanese engineers and mathematicians: the research group of Prof. Yoshifumi Kitamura (Tohoku University, Sendai), and Prof. Takashi Yoshino (Toyo University, Tokyo), both mentioned in the interview.
