As of June 2024, I am joining Amemiya lab.

Previously I used to be a postdoc in Human-Computer Integration lab led by Pedro Lopes for two years between June 2022 - May 2024. I was supported by the JSPS Overseas Research Fellowship.

I received my Ph.D. in Engineering at The University of Electro-Communications (the Department of Informatics), UEC, Japan, in 2022. My supervisor was Prof. Hiroyuki Kajimoto, who leads Kajimoto lab.

I focus on haptic interfaces that modulate human haptic sensation, including touch and proprioception, by applying mechanical / electrical / electromagnetic stimulation to the skin / muscle / tendon.
