Here should be introductions.
I got my Ph.D. in Informatics at the Graduate School of Informatics, Kyoto University in Sep. 2023.
I am a program-specific researcher at Ogata Laboratory, Academic Center for Computing and Media Studies, Kyoto University.
Currently, my research focuses on algorithmic group formation and group learning support in data-driven environments with Learning Analytics.
Please take a look at my publications.

Group Formation System
- A system to create student groups based on diverse data sources, including learning logs, e-book annotations, and previous performance metrics.
- Implemented algorithms to support group formation in various educational contexts (e.g., primary school math, junior high English, and university-level courses).
- Exploring optimal grouping strategies and input attributes in different scenarios.
Peer Evaluation System
- Integrated peer evaluation results to refine group dynamics in classrooms.
- Analyze peer feedback reliability and detect unserious rater behaviors.
Peer Recommendation and Peer Help System
- Recommending peer tutors based on knowledge proficiency from learning logs.
- Online platform for peer tutoring and communication, with behavior sensors for learning analytics.
