Kentaro Takahira
I am a second-year Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, supervised by Prof. Huamin Qu at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). My research interests are in VR/AR, Data Visualization, and Human-Computer Interaction. I am particularly interested in visualizing data using AR/VR technologies as a medium, which goes beyond conventional desktop and mobile devices, to more effectively assist human decision-making based on data. Additionally, I am intrigued by employing AR/VR technologies as new creative media to offer users novel artistic experiences. Before starting my doctoral studies, I worked in Tokyo as a data scientist, supporting data analysis across various industries. I have also provided employee training and online courses related to data analysis.
