Personal Portrait

About Me

I am currently a PhD student at the University of Tokyo working on improving the detection of gravitational waves (GWs) from compact binaries.

My past research was working on the improving the noise model estimation in the presence of gravitational wave signals for GstLAL pipeline. Currently, I am working on reducing the noise in the GW strain data with machine learning, using the information from the physical environment monitoring system.

In addition to research, I am also interested in software development, cloud computing and machine learning.
