Ph.D. in Engineering / Computer Vision, Group Behavior Understanding

Received a Ph.D. in Engineering from Toyota Technological Institute in 2026. During the doctoral program, served as a JSPS Research Fellow (DC2), a visiting researcher at the Idiap Research Institute in Switzerland, and a sport analyst at the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters.

Research in computer vision aiming to understand human behavior at the level of groups rather than individuals — in particular, group detection (who belongs together), group activity representation learning (what the group is doing), and joint attention estimation (where people look together), with first-author papers at CVPR, ICCV, and CVIU.
