Project Assistant Professor @CSIS, University of Tokyo.
Digital Twin | City Science | GIS & Urban Planning | Civil Engineering

I am currently a Project Assistant Professor at the Center for Spatial Information Science (CSIS), University of Tokyo, primarily focusing on Human Centered Urban Informatics. I received my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Civil Engineering, University of Tokyo in 2023.

My research interests lie in the impact of digital tools on urban development and how these tools can foster citizen participation. Currently, my work revolves around the development of a digital twin platform and the application of generative AI methodologies in the field of urban planning.

Additionally, I am deeply concerned with demographic changes and compact city policies in the context of population decline and aging, as well as the sustainable development of future cities.

I am very open to research collaboration. If you are interested, please feel free to contact me!
