I am a researcher exploring how haptic and virtual technologies can support the teaching and learning of physical skills. Building on my master’s research on human-exoskeleton motor cooperation at Kyushu University, I now focus on augmenting the interaction between learners and instructors. My goal is to make embodied knowledge accessible to anyone, regardless of age, ability, or background.

Research Experience
Graduate Student Researcher
Advisor: Prof. Satoshi MURAKI, Asst. Prof. Ping Yeap LOH
» Engineered a custom 1-DOF exoskeleton testbed integrating torque control, EMG acquisition, and visual feedback using Python and C++.
» Designed and executed psychophysical experiments (N=42) with randomized block designs and counterbalancing to evaluate assistance onset timing.
» Implemented an automated Python pipeline to filter and normalize EMG signals and synchronize them with joint kinematics to analyze dynamic motor responses.
2023.10 - 2025.9
Project Manager / Production Engineer
» Led a cross-functional task force across five divisions to develop a Bill of Process (BOP) system.
» Defined system requirements and standardized operational workflows to systematize manufacturing knowledge management.
» Developed 3D models of assembly processes (workers, packaging, and tooling) to enable vehicle assembly training in VR.
» Designed and delivered a hands-on training curriculum on 3D CAD modeling and kinematic analysis for over 20 junior engineers.

Undergraduate Student Researcher
Advisor: Takao Koshimizu
» Determined the regenerator-to-pulse-tube length ratio experimentally to maximize heat transport via air vibration.
» The competition model was fabricated using various machining techniques, such as acrylic threading.
» Developed an educational kit based on a modified Rijke tube to demonstrate heat–sound energy conversion to children.
