About Me

I am a graduate student at Osaka University, specializing in computational fluid dynamics and 3D bioprinting. My passion for science and engineering took root in my childhood, and it was during my undergraduate studies in Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara, I found a particular interest in computational problems. This intersection between science and computation led me to learn to program, opening up a whole new world of problem-solving techniques, including the powerful concept of computational thinking.

With skills in Python, C, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, and machine learning, I began to see how programming could revolutionize traditional engineering fields. The blend of machine learning and biotechnology, in particular, holds vast potential that I find truly exciting. As a MEXT scholar in Japan, I've had the opportunity to delve deeper into these areas while supporting Osaka University's Main Library undergraduates.

Beyond academia, I maintain a rich and varied set of interests. I find joy and challenge in mountain climbing, and I have a passion for traveling, which offers me a broader cultural perspective and enriches my understanding of the world. I firmly believe in lifelong learning, frequently immersing myself in online courses to expand my knowledge base. To unwind, I often lose myself in the pages of a good book, finding it a source of relaxation and wisdom. Through these experiences, I continue to grow as a student, researcher, and individual.

Project Demonstration

NHK NEWS WEB EASY Scraper

Welcome to the NHK NEWS WEB EASY Scraper. This tool helps you fetch and display simplified Japanese news articles from the NHK NEWS WEB EASY website. It not only provides you with the news content, but also extracts key vocabulary and their pronunciations, along with dictionary definitions where available.

To start, simply click on the 'Fetch News' button. You can also copy the content to your clipboard using the 'Copy Content' button.

Please note that news updates occur twice on weekdays, around 12 PM and 5 PM. During these update periods, the news fetching function may not work correctly. In addition, please be aware that the 'Fetch News' function extracts a random article from the four latest headlines on the NHK NEWS WEB EASY website.

You can also explore a user-friendly graphical interface version of this tool, developed with Python. Check it out on this GitHub repository.

Research Interests

3D extrusion bioprinting is rapidly developing in the field of tissue engineering, enabling the manufacturing of customized biologically engineered structures. This research attempts to optimize the shape of the needle, extrusion velocity, printability, and cell viability using numerical analysis and machine learning to control the fluid shear stress inside the needle.
