I received BS and MS degrees in Mechanical Engineering in Keio Univ. in Japan. There I also worked as research assistant at Kitano Symbiotic Systems Project, ERATO, JST in Japan. After graduation, I worked as a researcher for robotics technology at fuRo in CIT in Japan where I focused on developing humanoid robotics. I am currently a PhD student in EECS undertaking research in the design and control of the active-knee prosthesis and a whole robotic leg system which includes a biarticular knee and ankle.
