Hi, I'm Asuka. I believe the best way to understand the future of AI is by deeply exploring the human world first. After high school, I spent five gap years gaining hands-on global experience, including working on a tea farm on a small island, completing an internship in the tourism sector in Nepal, and working as a professional scuba diving guide in Japan and the Philippines. This cross-cultural background, combined with my bachelor's degree in Cognitive Science and AI, now fuels my studies in the Creative Intelligence and Technology master's program. My goal is to use my passion for languages and cultural anthropology to design meaningful and culturally aware human-robot interactions.
