CV
I am a Ph.D. student in the HCI-lab at Hokkaido University, where I am advised by Prof. Daisuke Sakamoto. My research lies in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). I focus on the design, development, and evaluation of assistive technology that supports the daily activities and exercises of people with visual impairments. From September 2024 to March 2025, I am a visiting student at the SMU HCI Research, where I am advised by Prof. Kotaro Hara. Please refer to my CV if you are interested!
Two papers and one LBW have been accepted to CHI2025!
One paper has been accepted to PACMHCI (CSCW2025)!
I start my visiting student life at Singapore Management University!
