Mana Masuda

Hi, I am Mana Masuda (枡田真奈).
Research Scientist at SB Intuitions.

I received my Ph.D. from Keio University in March 2025 under the supervision of Prof. Hideo Saito.
During my doctoral studies, I spent one year as a Research Associate at the Kris Kitani Lab, Robotics Institute (RI), Carnegie Mellon University.
I was also supported by the JSPS Research Fellowship for Young Scientists (DC2).
I completed my Ph.D. program in 2.5 years and my Master’s program in 1.5 years—both ahead of schedule—under the supervision of Prof. Hideo Saito at Keio University.
