I am currently a researcher at Nagoya University, working under the supervision of Prof. Ryuichiro Higashinaka. 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 Systems, including empathetic dialogue generation, personality-aware conversational models, emotion recognition, and human-agent/robot interaction. I am also interested in explainable and controllable LLMs, particularly in causal reasoning and user-adaptive methods.
