I am a Researcher of the Visual Computing Group at Microsoft Research Asia. I received my PhD from The University of Tokyo in 2007 under the supervision of Prof. Katsushi Ikeuchi. After the graduation, I worked at the Computer Graphics Lab of Carnegie Mellon University as a Postdoctoral Fellow and a Project Scientist, and then worked at Disney Research Pittsburgh as a Postdoctoral Associate, with Prof. Jessica Hodgins. My research is in the fields of computer graphics, computer vision, and human-computer interaction, with particular interests in User Interfaces for Character Animation and Character Interaction.
