Control Theory | Robotics | Safety-Critical Systems
I am a Master's student in Mechanical Systems Engineering at Ibaraki University, Japan, specializing in control theory and multi-robot systems.
My research focuses on safety-critical and optimal control for autonomous systems, with an emphasis on bridging theory and real-world robotic applications.
I will join the autonomous systems industry as a full-time researcher in April 2026.
Design provably safe, optimal, and scalable controllers for real-world autonomous systems.
