Akihiko Oharazawa

Hi, I'm a visiting researcher at the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, where I am fortunately working with Prof. Srinivasa Narasimhan. I am also employed as a research scientist at Kao Corporation.

My research interests broadly span computer vision and computational imaging, with a focus on physics-based approaches.
