I am currently a PhD candidate at Kitsuregawa Lab, at the Graduate School of Information and Communication Engineering, Institute of Industrial Science, the University of Tokyo.
I previously received a Master of Science in Computer Science degree on November 24th 2006 from Leiden University's LIACS.
Please see the University category on my blog for posts related to my life and work at University.
