I am currently a second-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Mechanical Systems Engineering at Tokyo Metropolitan University, advised by Professor Naoyuki Kubota in the Intelligent Robotics Lab. Before that, I obtained my bachelor’s degree from the Division of Science at Tokyo Denki University, where I conducted research in the Artificial Intelligence Lab. I also completed my master’s degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Shibaura Institute of Technology, where I worked in the Data Engineering Lab.

My research interests include deep learning, computer vision, vision-and-language, and embodied intelligence, with a focus on their applications in autonomous driving, human activity recognition, medical diagnostics, and robotics.

I speak, read, and write in Chinese, Japanese, and English. In terms of software skills, I can work with Python, PyTorch, MATLAB, and C/C++.
