Biography

Yamato Miyatake is currently pursuing a Ph.D. at Saitama University under the supervision of Parinya Punpongsanon, focusing on the intersection of human-food interaction, digital fabrication, and Human-centered AI. His goal is to pioneer innovations in digital culinary experiences.

Before this, he worked on driver assistance system at Bosch , where he honed his skills in sensor-based environment recognition.

In 2022, he earned a Master of Engineering degree from Osaka University, specializing in Computer Vision, Robotics, Machine Learning, Signal Processing, and Human-Computer Interaction. Additionally, his research at SENS laboratory has explored haptic presentation in Augmented Reality (AR) and embedding information using 3D food printing. These works have been presented at premier conferences, including IEEE VR and UIST.
