About
I am an assistant professor (講師) at Waseda University, working with the Simo-Serra Laboratory. I received my B.S. (2019), M.S. (2021), and Ph.D. in Engineering (2024) from Waseda University. My research interest is computer graphics for applications — supporting human creation from both computer graphics and human–computer interaction. Recent projects include data-driven ink painting rendering, interactive texture segmentation of 3D scanned models, and generative AI for robotic drawing.
