About Me

I am a MEXT Scholar and final-year master's student at The University of Osaka, working in the Integrated Media Environment Lab (Uranishi Laboratory) under the guidance of Assoc. Prof. Naoya Chiba, Prof. Tomohiro Mashita, and Dr. Liyun Zhang.

My research interests include 3D computer vision, 3D generation and reconstruction, point cloud processing, shape representation learning, and generative AI. I am also beginning to explore Physical AI and human–humanoid interaction, especially how embodied agents can understand human behavior and social interaction.
