I work as a Research Scientist at CyberAgent AI Lab. I received a Ph.D. degree under the supervision of Prof. Edgar Simo-Serra. I had worked as a research intern at CyberAgent AI Lab and Microsoft Research Asia. My current research focuses on the application of machine learning and optimization techniques to support graphic design creation.
