I’m a first-year Ph.D. student in ECE at The University of Texas at Austin advised by Prof. Neeraja Yadwadkar.
Previously, I earned my B.Eng. in Systems Innovation from The University of Tokyo, Japan.
During my undergraduate years, I was fortunate to work with Prof. Atsutake Kosuge, Prof. Yusuke Iwasawa, and Prof. Yutaka Matsuo at UTokyo, Prof. Jonathan Balkind at UCSB, and Prof. Udit Gupta at Cornell Tech.

My research interests lie in agentic AI systems.
