Short Bio
I am an assistant professor at the Real-World Informative Robotics Lab (Kurazume & Kawamura Lab) of Kyushu University in Japan. I completed my PhD at Kyushu University in 2020 under the supervision of Prof. Ryo Kurazume. During my doctoral studies, I also worked as a research fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Sciences (JSPS) and a research intern at the NASA/Caltech Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). My research focuses on computer vision and robotics.
