About Me

Hi! I'm Jonathan, a student majoring in Information Systems Science and Engineering at Ritsumeikan University.

I enjoy challenging myself in robotics, SciML, and computer vision related fields.
Love reading books, working out, and watching anime in my spare time.
Open to discussing collaborative research or projects in robotics or SciML.
