About Me

I am a graduate researcher in Computer Science at Keio University (HVRL) and Ecole Centrale de Nantes, with a theoretical ML foundation from PSL University (M2 IASD). My research interests lie in computer vision, particularly learning task-relevant visual representations that generalize across diverse data distributions under limited supervision. I am especially interested in self- and semi-supervised learning and domain generalization, with a growing focus on biomedical imaging. My current research includes particle picking in cryo-electron microscopy, while my previous work has explored robust visual perception, monocular 3D reconstruction, and low-light image enhancement.

Research Experience

Graduate Research Assistant

Keio University (HVRL) | Oct 2025 - Present

Cryo-EM Particle Picking (Master's Thesis): Investigating deep unsupervised and semi-supervised learning methods for particle picking in cryo-electron microscopy. The project addresses the challenges of extreme image noise, limited expert annotations, and generalization across diverse datasets.

Biomedical Imaging Representation Learning Unsupervised Learning Semi-Supervised Learning

Volley3D (First-Author Manuscript): Developed a framework for 3D volleyball-scene reconstruction from monocular broadcast footage without 3D supervision. Combined jump-aware player kinematics with 2D-to-3D ball trajectory reconstruction using TCN-based segmentation, collision matching, and a physics-based solver.

Monocular 3D Reconstruction Physics-Informed Modeling 3D Scene Understanding

PoseConvSpot (Accepted for Oral Presentation at ACM MMSports 2026): Designed a pose-only spatiotemporal regression architecture using Strip Pooling, GRU, and Soft Gamma Loss for precise jump-event spotting. Improved mAP@3 by 14.1% under cross-arena evaluation compared with state-of-the-art RGB-based baselines.

Computer Vision Research Intern — Master's Thesis

GoPro / PSL University | Apr 2025 - Sep 2025 | Paris, France

Investigated unsupervised image-to-image translation to synthesize nighttime training data from daytime imagery, addressing data scarcity in low-light vision. Enhanced CycleGAN with DINO-based structural priors to preserve scene structure during domain translation, alongside an RGB-to-RAW unprocessing pipeline.

Designed a dual-task evaluation protocol assessing synthetic domain transfer for both low-level image restoration (denoising metrics) and high-level perception (object detection mAP).
