Alumni
Hironori Yoshida (Hiro) is an Associate Professor at Future University Hakodate (FUN), where he teaches graphics and data science courses and conducts research on design and human-computer interaction (HCI). He started his career as a designer and fabricator, and has since published multiple technical papers in leading conferences such as SIGGRAPH, UIST, and ICRA, where he received the Best Student Paper Award in 2017. Hironori has also worked as a researcher at Preferred Networks, Inc. and ETH Zürich, focusing on innovative design and fabrication technologies.
Work Topic
Investigating how fine-grained material details—such as wood grain, joints, and finishes—shape human perception and emotion, and developing computational models that link these details to embodied responses. The work integrates design research, AI, and neuroarchitecture to inform human–machine coexisting environments.
