Akiho Kawada
Undergrad @ the University of Tokyo
Hello, my name is Akiho Kawada (in Japanese 河田 顕帆).
I’m an undergrad (final year) at Systems Innovation, Faculty of Engineering, the University of Tokyo. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Yutaka Matsuo and Prof. Yusuke Iwasawa.
I’m currently working closely with Prof. Udit Gupta at Cornell Tech.
My primary research interest lies in computer architecture, particularly in achieving high performance in computing systems through holistic approaches such as software-hardware co-design. I am particularly interested in areas such as systems for machine learning and heterogeneous computing.
I aim to pursue a Ph.D. in electrical engineering / computer sciences at universities in the US or Canada, starting in the fall of 2026 after earning my bachelor's degree.
