YARU LIU

My name is Yaru Liu, a student at the Graduate School of Engineering Science at Akita University. I have been studying in Japan for six years and am currently in the doctoral program specializing in Human Information Engineering. My research involves using image processing and machine learning techniques to detect vehicles and analyze human actions in nighttime thermal infrared images. I excel at applying AI and image processing technologies to programming development. My dream is to utilize IT technology to improve people's working and living environments, thereby contributing to the construction of a better future society.
