I have spent over two decades as an information scientist, dedicating the last ten years to sound and audio research at the University of Aizu. Throughout my career, I have published over 150 articles in top journals and conferences, and I hold three patents related to sound and audio. My passion for research has also led me to supervise more than 30 undergraduate students, a dozen Master's students, and I am currently guiding two Ph.D. students.

We call our lab "Onkyo." In our lab, we explore sound as a powerful medium for transmitting information between humans and machines. Our research relies heavily on machine learning methods and focuses on three key areas:

Spatial Sound: In an age of information overload, where vision is saturated with data from daily gadgets, we seek to utilize spatial (3D) sound through loudspeakers or headphones to conv
