Senior🎓
Top SchoolNobuyuki Umetani is an associate professor at The University of Tokyo with 14 years of research and development experience at the intersection of computer graphics, interactive design interfaces, and mechanical engineering. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science and has held research positions at Disney Research, Autodesk Research, and Microsoft Research Asia, bringing industry-grade simulation and fabrication insights into academia. His work focuses on integrated design, interactive simulation, finite element methods, and biomechanical simulation, often blending mathematical rigor from visits to TU Delft and Columbia with practical prototyping. He has a track record of collaborative international research with leaders like Takeo Igarashi, Niloy Mitra, and Eitan Grinspun, and has transitioned ideas from internships and postdocs into applied projects and teaching. Based in Tokyo, he pairs deep simulation expertise with hands-on fabrication experience, making complex physical modeling accessible for interactive design. An understated strength is his ability to bridge theoretical numerical methods with real-world engineering constraints to produce usable tools for both researchers and designers.
