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 at Matsuo-Iwasawa Lab.
My primary research interest lies in computer architecture, particularly in software-hardware co-design and systems for machine learning.
I aim to pursue a Ph.D. in electrical engineering / computer sciences at universities in the US or Europe after earning my bachelor's degree.
