Akihiko Oharazawa

Hi, I'm a research scientist at Kao Corporation, and currently a visiting researcher at the Robotics Institute, School of Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University working with Prof.Srinivasa Narasimhan.

Previously, I received my MS in Comprehensive Human Science from the University of Tsukuba.

Currently, I'm exploring topics in computational imaging and vision, with a focus on physics-based approaches.
