I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Gradudate School of Informatics at Kyoto University, supported by the Japanese Government (MEXT) Scholarship. I conduct research in the Human-Robot Interaction Lab under the supervision of Prof. Takayuki Kanda. My research mainly focuses on human-robot interaction, and social robotics.
