I’m a third-year Ph.D. student supervised by Daisuke Deguchi and Hiroshi Murase at VisLab, Nagoya University, interested in explainable AI.

Prior to Nagoya University, I obtained my M.ENG in the Graduate School of Information Science and Engineering from Ritsumeikan University;

B.ENG in the College of Information Science and Engineering from Ritsumeikan University;

Another B.ENG in the DUT—RU International School of Information Science & Engineering from Dalian University of Technology;

B.A. in the DUT—RU International School of Information Science & Engineering from Dalian University of Technology.
