I am a 1st-year Ph.D. student (DC1) at the Irie Lab, Tokyo University of Science.
My specializations are in computer vision and machine learning.
Currently, my primary research topic is on machine unlearning for foundation models.
I am currently seeking research internship opportunities. If you find my work interesting or would like to discuss any potential opportunities, please feel free to contact me via email.
