Master of Science in Computer Science (2012-09 ~ 2015-01)
Summary
I entered M.Sc. program in University of Manitoba in September 2012 and defended my thesis in January 2015. My thesis is about the difference between a simulated robot and a real robot in terms of people's empathic responses. During the program, I went to Interactive Content Design Lab in Tohoku University for a research internship for five months.
