I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Neuro-Robotics Lab at Tohoku University. I received my Ph.D. in Robotics from Tohoku University (early completion, one year ahead of schedule) under the supervision of Prof. Mitsuhiro Hayashibe, and was honored with the Tohoku University Professor Fujino Incentive Award. I am also a core researcher in the Neuro-Humanoid Project of Japan's Moonshot R&D Program.
Before joining academia, I worked for about ten years as an engineer in technology and quality roles in the automotive and machinery industries.
My research interests include embodied AI, robotic manipulation, multimodal learning in robotics, deformable object manipulation, LLMs in robotics, and the industrial applications of robotics. My long-term goal is to enable human-like perception and manipulation in robots to contribute to a better world.
