Short Bio


After my study at University in Japan (bachelor) and at the Paris Descartes University in Paris (master degree), I obtained a PhD degree in sociology at Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris (2012). I graduated at Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris in Laban notation (2011). Since April 2014, I joined the GEPETTO team at LAAS-CNRS as a postdoctoral fellow.

Current Position


I am working on a computation of the Kinetography Laban, within a framework of the European project "Actanthrope", led by Jean-Paul Laumond.

Research Interests


  • Dance notation system and computation
  • Motion segmentation
  • Human movement and emotion
