About me
About me
[Profile]
I'm a Lecturer at the School of Fundamental Science and Engineering in Waseda University. I received a Ph.D from the Department of Pure and Applied Physics at Waseda University in 2017. I obtained my B.E. and M.E. degree in 2012 and 2014 respectively. During 2017-2023, I was mainly working at the Graduate School of Information Science and Technology in the University of Tokyo. My main research areas are Computer Graphics (CG) and Human Computer Interaction (HCI) such as cartoon animation.
[Research Interest]
My current research interest is Computer Graphics and Human Computer Interaction, especially for cartoon animation:
User Experience Design
Geometry Processing
Video & Image Processing
Information Visualization
