ABOUT ME

I am a Project Assistant Professor at the University of Tokyo, working with Prof. Takeo Igarashi. I completed my PhD under his supervision. I defended my PhD thesis in December 2025 entitled "Agentic Development Approaches to Autonomous Vehicle-Pedestrian Interaction".

Prior to my doctoral studies, I worked with Prof. Takeo Igarashi and Dr. Chia-Ming Chang under JST Crest funding as a project support specialist from 2020/12 to 2023/03.

I received my MSc in electronics and electrical engineering working with Dr. Petros Aristidou from the University of Leeds (2019/11) (Yorkshire, UK) and my BEng in Electrical Engineering from the University of Bridgeport (2018/05) (CT, USA).

My RESEARCH INTERESTS are in anthropomorphic external human-machine interface (eHMI) design for an autonomous vehicle (AV), mixed reality (MR-based) evaluation for car-to-pedestrian interaction, and interactive fabrication.

I like making paper mechanisms, sporting (running, Bajiquan), and mixology (cocktail, coffee, milk art).
