I am a researcher at the Speech and Audio Processing Laboratory at Kyoto University in Kyoto, Japan. I obtained my Ph.D. in Intelligence Science and Technology from Kyoto University under the supervision of Prof. Tatsuya Kawahara. My research focuses on dialogue response generation for conversational robots capable of expressing emotions, empathy, personality, and other human-like qualities. Specifically, my interests include, but are not limited to, empathetic/personalized dialogue generation, knowledge reasoning, and user-adaptive dialogue strategies.

Prior to my enrollment at Kyoto University, I earned an M.E in Computer Technology from Tianjin University (TJU), under the supervision of Prof. Longbiao Wang. Additionally, I obtained another M.E. in Information Science from Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST), surpervised by Prof. Shogo Okada in the Social Signal Interaction Group. My research at JAIST and TJU focused on the multi-modalities and knowledge graph modeling for emotion recognition.

I have done a research internship at rinna, focused on personality recognition in dialogue systems.
