Experience

  • 2024 - present

    Tsukuba, Japan

    Doctoral Research, Computer Graphics and Vision
    University of Tsukuba, CGG Lab
    Research digital human editing with 3D Gaussian Splatting, focusing on outfit personalization, cross-avatar editing, and animatable avatar control.
    • Design and implement a multi-stage 3D avatar editing system in PyTorch, combining mesh-based geometric optimization, self-supervised data generation, and diffusion-based refinement for high-fidelity free-viewpoint editing.
    • Prototype feed-forward, animatable, and editable Gaussian avatars for body-shape control and outfit personalization.
    • Build supporting tooling for GPU-cluster experimentation and data processing on Linux servers, improving reproducibility and day-to-day research workflow.
  • 2022 - 2024

    Tsukuba, Japan

    Master's Research, Computer Graphics and Vision
    University of Tsukuba, CGG Lab
    Researched sparse-view digital human reconstruction and rendering, with a focus on generalizable human NeRF models that balance rendering quality and inference efficiency.
    • Designed and implemented a human-prior-guided rendering pipeline in PyTorch, integrating geometry-aware guidance and occlusion-aware refinement for high-quality novel-view synthesis from only 3 to 4 input images.
  • 2025 - present

    Japan

    Rendering Research Contributor
    Industry-Academia Research Collaboration
    Collaborative research project with an industry partner.
    • Contributed to a product-oriented face rendering and inverse rendering research project, focusing on practical modeling and analysis for facial geometry and appearance.
