I am an assistant professor (助教) at the Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, the University of Tokyo. I am a member of the User Interface Research Group and working with Takeo Igarashi. My research focus on human-guided optimization, where I explore combinations between different human priors and numerical optimization and develop supportive system for visual content design.
