Education

  1. Ph.D. in Information Science and Technology

    The University of Tokyo
    Thesis on how dynamic force feedback elicits multi-dimensional perceptual changes of physical properties, guiding haptic interface design. Advised by Prof. Takuji Narumi and Shigeo Yoshida, its insights were shared through multiple ACM conferences.

  2. MEng in Information Science and Technology

    The University of Tokyo

    Developed a gyro-moment force feedback device “MetarmophX” as part of my master’s thesis, and organized as well as exhibited media art “Dress of Ghost” installations. Also completed foundational AI courses, including basic machine learning concepts.

    Courses included:

    • Human-Computer Interaction
    • Interactive Media Art
    • Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

  3. BSc in Mechano-informatics

    The University of Tokyo

    Studied core mechanical engineering disciplines (thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, dynamics) and gained hands-on experience fabricating a functional engine. Developed a robotics project integrating ROS for control, culminating in a robot capable of recognizing Rubik’s Cube colors and automatically solving it.

    Courses included:

    • Mechanical Systems Design and Fabrication
    • Applied AI and Machine Learning in Python
    • Robotics Programming and Control Systems with ROS

研究会推薦博士論文
情報処理学会 ∙ September 2024
This paper demonstrates how a handheld force feedback device can present various material properties (e.g., inertia, viscosity, stiffness) of virtual objects through combined visual and haptic cues. By conducting interviews and psychological experiments, it clarifies how humans perceive these material qualities, providing foundational insights for the field of entertainment computing.
