Ryota Maeda / 前田 涼汰

Ph.D. Student
Visual Media Engineering Lab (advised by Prof. Shinsaku Hiura)
Graduate School of Engineering
University of Hyogo

My research interests are computer vision, computer graphics, and computational imaging. I am exploring next-generation imaging systems by designing both optical hardware and computational algorithms.

I was a visiting student at POSTECH in 2024, supervised by Prof. Seung-Hwan Baek and NAIST in 2018, supervised by Prof. Yasuhiro Mukaigawa. I worked as a research intern at CyberAgent AI Lab in 2022. Previously, I earned my Bachelor's (2020) and Master's (2022) degrees in Engineering from University of Hyogo.
