I am a CEO of NeuralX Inc.
Recently awarded the MIT Technology Review Innovator Under 35 and Forbes Next 1000.
I was a Postdoc at the Computer Science Department at University of California, Los Angeles, under the supervision of Prof. Demetri Terzopoulos from the University of California, Los Angeles.
I received my Ph.D. in computer science from University of California, Los Angeles,
under the supervision of Prof. Terzopoulos, and recieved my M.Sc. in Pure and Applied
Physics at Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan, under the supervision of Prof. Morishima.
Previously, I received my B.Sc. in Applied Physics from Waseda University.
I am interested in Deep learning, Neuroscience, Computer Vision, Biomechanics, Machine Learning, Fashion x AI, Fitness x AI, Web 3.0, Artificial Life and Metaverse.
