I recently received Ph.D. in Computer Science under the supervisions of Morteza Lahijanian (https://www.ariasystems.group/) and Sriram Sankaranarayanan (https://plv.colorado.edu/) at the University of Colorado Boulder.
Current Work
My ultimate goal is to easily teach robots the task specifications through demonstrations and execute the task autonomously. Especially, my work focuses on Learning from Demonstrations (LfD), i.e., the robot learns the specifications of a task through demonstrations (in the form of Formal Language, e.g., LTL). I am interested in learning a high-level abstract task as a formal language so that robots can utilize the learned specifications to adapt to similar environments.
Interests
My research focuses on task learning and strategy synthesis for robots. Especially, I am interested in the intersection between Formal Method, Optimization, and Robotics. I also worked intensively on Control Theory and Reinforcement Learning algorithms during my master’s degree (LQR, MPC, H-Infinity, Robust Control, Hierarchical RL, Model-based RL, etc.)
Bio
I completed my Bachelor and Master at Keio University in Japan, under the supervision of Masaki Takahashi. I also studied at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champain for a year. Majored in Aerospace Engineering and Computer Science.
Received Ph.D. at CU Boulder in 2024.
