I am a Postdoc at The University of Tokyo working with Prof. Yoichi Sato.

Previously, I was a PhD student at Keio University supervised by Prof. Hideo Saito. During May 2024 and May 2025, I conducted research at the University of Bristol as a visiting PhD student and working with Prof. Dima Damen.

In 2023, I obtained a Master’s degree in computer science from Keio University, Japan, and an engineering degree from CentraleSupélec, France, as part of a double degree program.

My research interests span:

Machine Learning Computer Vision Egocentric Vision Representation Learning Motion Understanding / Forecasting / Generation
