was born in Chiba, Japan 1974.
is a research specialist to observe and analyze cognitive and psychological aspects of users who are interacting with various kinds of artifacts (e.g., computers, smart devices, robots or AIs).
published more than 100 articles at prestige international conferences (e.g., CogSci, CHI and so on) and around 50 international and Japanese journal papers.
has several lectures about cognitive science and relationship between humans and technologies in both Japanese and English.
welcomes exciting research and educational collaborations related not only to his research interests but also to various aspects of cognitive science and psychology of users who are interacting with artifacts.
