• PhD student, Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, Osaka University
  • Affiliated at Bio-Inspired Networking Laboratory
  • Participated at Humanware Innovation Program

I have received the master degree at the same research lab and was awarded the Award of the Graduate School of Information Science and Technology of Osaka University in 2023. Additionaly, I was honored to receive the Rotary Yoneyama Memorial Foundation Scholarship in 2022-2023.

Research

My research interests include multi-agent system, agent-based simulation, biological physics, and data science.

Currently, I am focusing on studying swarm systems and swarm control approaches. I also participate in collaborative research on the applications such as cyborg insects, drones, and cells.
