Associate Professor • Kansai University, Japan

Machines that listen,
so people dare
to speak.

I design emotionally intelligent agents and learning technologies that don't replace human connection. They deepen it, across languages, cultures, and a new kind of partnership.

Currently Visiting Scholar at TIDE, UPF Barcelona, Spain

From Cotonou to Osaka

The premise

For most of its history, technology asked people to adapt to it.

I'm interested in the opposite: machines that adapt to us. They sense how we feel, how we struggle, how we grow, and become partners in the deeply human work of learning, expressing, and connecting.

Not artificial intelligence. Attuned intelligence.
