Greetings, I am a PhD student at the Interactive Intelligent Systems Laboratory (IIS-Lab) under the guidance of Koji Yatani at the University of Tokyo, Japan. I completed my M.Eng at the University of Tokyo (IIS-Lab) and B.S. in Computer Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
My main research focuses are on augmenting the learning experience by integrating technology to enhance the classroom experience, and investigating communication systems that expand our ability to convey meaning to one another beyond text and speech.
