I graduated from Nihon University, Chiba, Japan in 2010, and I received the M.E. degree from Tokyo Metropolitan University, Tokyo, Japan in 2012. Since April 2016, I obtained my Ph.D. degree from Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology, University of Malaya, Malaysia.
After obtaining my Ph.D., I worked as a postdoctoral research fellow from August 2016 until August 2017 at University of Malaya, Malaysia. From October 2017 until March 2022, I worked an Assistant Professor in Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka Prefecture University, Japan. From April 2022 to September 2022, I worked an Assistant Professor in Graduate School of Core Informatics, Osaka Metropolitan University, Japan. Currently, I am working as an Associate Professor in Graduate School of Informatics, Osaka Metropolitan University, Japan.
