Riku will be a first year Ph.D. student in U.S. from 2021 fall.
He received his B.E. and M.S. at The University of Tokyo, where he worked with Prof.
Hiroshi Saruwatari on real-time voice conversion using DNN, and Prof.
Masahiko Inami on auditory intervention for behavioral change.
He also worked as a researcn intern with Prof. Yang Zhang on
mm-wave interactive sensing, and Dr. Fabrice
Matulic
on pen+tablet interaction.
His research focuses on developing and evaluating high-impact human-centered systems.
He believes interactions through sensing users’ context ubiquitously and intervening them suitably
are key for changing our daily lives in a pervasive manner.
His recent works are across human behavior analysis, wearable sensing systems, human-AI
collaboration, and persuasive technologies.
He often adopts wide spectrum of ML techniques for achieving smart interactions, such as
computer vision, speech synthesis, and natural language processing.
He publishes papers at ACM CHI, CSCW, and other venues.

I am willing to have talks, especially to (junior) high school students. This comes from my personal experience of having been exposed to the joy of science and technology at the seminars I attended when in high school.
