At Affective Technologies Laboratory, we are dedicated to bridging the gap between technology and human emotions. By integrating insights from Affective Computing and Kansei Engineering, our research explores how data science knowledge and technology can understand, respond to, and influence emotional experiences. Our work focuses on human behavior recognition, emotional design principles, and real-world applications to create innovative solutions that enhance human well-being and quality of life.
We are a multicultural and inclusive lab, open to researchers and students from diverse backgrounds. In addition to pursuing cutting-edge research, we also embrace the opportunity to learn and grow together through both English and Japanese communication, fostering a collaborative environment that supports international exchange and cross-cultural learning.
