Self-introduction
I have been proceeding research on the advance and intelligent control systems design. Recently, I have been interested in designing so-called data-driven control systems, in which control systems are designed directly from the experimental data of systems. I am also very interested in control applications, and I am actively working on social implementation through joint research with companies.
