About Me
I’m a master’s student at Matsuo-Iwasawa Lab, The University of Tokyo, advised by Prof. Yusuke Iwasawa and Prof. Yutaka Matsuo. I’ve also been fortunate to receive mentorship from Prof. Yunzhu Li. In addition to my bachelor’s and master’s studies at UTokyo, I spent wonderful time working at OMRON SINIC X as a robotics research intern.
I’m passionate about building intelligent robotic systems that achieve human-level dexterity and adaptability. Towards this goal, my research has focused on giving robots the ability to physically interact with the environment by leveraging compliance (software/hardware), and learning-based methods to perceive tactile sensations.
Outside of my research, I enjoy playing sports, particularly tennis🎾 and futsal⚽.

Weekend Builds
Some hobby projects and side projects I’ve worked on outside of my academic research.
Vimtion: Vim Keybindings for Notion
A Chrome extension that brings Vim keybindings to Notion, enabling power users to navigate and edit with familiar keyboard shortcuts. Built with TypeScript and modern Chrome Manifest V3.
I am actively maintaining this software and adding new features as I use it daily.
Designing and Building a Stirling Engine
A hands-on mechanical engineering course project at UTokyo involving CAD modeling, precision machining, thermodynamic analysis, and assembly of a working Stirling engine that demonstrates thermodynamic principles.
Worked in a team of 4 students to design and build the engine from scratch.
