I received Ph.D. (2023) at UC Santa Barbara, in the Media Arts & Technology Program, doing research in the RE Touch Lab, directed by Prof. Yon Visell.  My research is in haptics and extended reality, including haptic interface engineering, haptic perception, psychophysics, thermal displays, and tactile augmented reality.

After I received B.S. (2014) and M.S. (2016) in engineering and computer science in information science from Soka University, Tokyo. I worked as a researcher and technical assistant for 4 months at Keio University, Kanagawa.
