Kumamoto, Japan 熊本
Machine learning for neural signals, small models & language learning. Master’s student at Kumamoto University.
Professionally overthinking with the help of machine learning.
I’m doing my Master of Engineering in Applied Mathematics & Computer Science at Kumamoto University in the International Joint Education Program (IJEP), and I’m a member of the Intelligent Systems Laboratory.
My research is where machine learning meets the brain: EEG and other neural time series, signal processing, and models small enough to run where the data is.
The page runs backwards in time: Kumamoto first, then work, studies and projects.

01 Research project · Kumamoto University
My master’s research at the Intelligent Systems Laboratory (Prof. Motoki Amagasaki). The question: does spatial fMRI supervision during training help an EEG model generalize to people it has never seen, while inference still needs EEG only? Right now I’m defining the topic, reviewing the literature and reproducing a published EEG–fMRI baseline.

02 Research · Neural signals
A local-first pipeline that classifies sleep stages from EEG, evaluated with strict subject-wise cross-validation. The best model so far is a CNN-GRU over log-spectrogram sequences with a fold-aware Viterbi smoothing pass, benchmarked against interpretable tabular baselines.
03 Research · Model compression
A three-part study on shrinking transformers for phones and edge devices: can a small student keep what a big teacher knows? First classification, then generation.
04 Computer vision · Local LLMs
A local-first reader for Japanese manga. It detects text regions, runs MangaOCR, adds dictionary and kanji context, and renders translations from a local Ollama model back onto the panel.
05 App · Language learning
A Japanese-learning PWA built around 52 short stories. Japanese words are woven into German text and lose their reading aids as you learn them, backed by spaced repetition. No dependencies, no build step, works offline.
06 Game · Embeddings
A semantic word-guessing game. Every guess lives in an embedding space, so “close” means close in meaning, not in spelling.
07 Game · Godot 4
A first-person dark-fantasy escape room. Chapter one: Shakespeare’s London is falling apart, the puzzles are built into the furniture, and two players can solve it together online.
