Assistant Professor, Center for Water Cycle, Marine Environment and Disaster Management, Kumamoto University
I study behavior modeling and planning in urban spaces, using techniques from various fields such as choice modeling, game theory, traffic flow theory, and machine learning.
Currently, I am working as an assistant professor at the Center for Water Cycle, Marine Environment and Disaster Management, Kumamoto University, Japan, in Dr. Takuya Maruyama's research group.
