I’m an Asistant Professor at the Biomedical Imaging Intelligence (BII) Lab. led by Prof. Yoshito Otake in the Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST). Before joining the BII Lab, I was a student at Imaging-based Computational Biomedicine Lab. in NAIST supervised by Prof. Yoshinobu Sato. I obtained my master’s and PhD degress from NAIST in October 2022 and March 2025, respectively.

My research focuses on computer vision in medical imaging, including generative models and multimodal learning. From clinical aspect, my research focuses on recognition and quantification of musculoskeletal diseases from radiograph such as X-ray images, CT, and MRI. In 2023, I was selected for the NAIST Fellowship.
